ENS DAO Delegate Applications

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

We have the ability to re-architect the web as we currently know it and domains are such a vital part of this architecture. This is the opportunity to built a network collectively owned by everyone, not just a few. I would love to be a part of the decision making process.

I have experience at large domain controllers who collectively have held tens of thousands of domains. This has largely shaped my view on domain squatting and I’d like to think my votes will lean in favor of the collective good rather than towards a flipper mentality. Recently I have made it an effort to return firstnamelastname.com-type names to owners at no cost, whenever they’re found at auction. Can provide some celebrities as witnesses if necessary.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree
  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:
I am a software developer of over 30 years, have built multiple projects (open and closed source) but recently in the web3 space: mintdrop.com nftapi.dev token.rodeo gas.bingo and quite a few more in the works.
