My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: Cryptocurrency has changed my outlook on life and given me renewed purpose. The zero barrier to entry/participation (we have to keep fighting for this), great equalizing nature of the web3 environment (we are all the same behind .eth name), with zero censorship. I really believe in the ENS constitution and as such want to contribute my time and resources as an ENS delegate to progress these tenets.
Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)** AGREE - we are all sovereign individuals with rights to privacy. ENS enables this and many more features that will develop with Web3 propagation
Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)** AGREE - vital we discourage scalpers/squatters to ensure ENS stays as a public utility protocol. Additionally it will ensure ENS names that have been abandoned/lost accounts will eventually be released back to the protocol for others to use. We should always consider incentive mechanisms and unattended consequences (e.g. registration fee amount)
Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)** AGREE - ENS funds should be used to support/improve the ENS protocol first and foremost in line with ENS constitution. Followed by supporting other initiatives/projects outside of the ENS ecosystem should be considered. We should be mindful this doesn’t cause conflict of interest with delegaters and outside projects re funding allocation, maybe we can add to constitution (via vote). Key way to minimize this is via having really diverse distribution of governance tokens.
ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)**AGREE - vital we have global standard integrating with the global namespace. This would also improve over time due to network effects and ultimately making ENS protocol anti-fragile.

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: along with the outbursting of cryto economy and comunity, web3 is more and more important. And I’d like to bring this new concept in traditional enterprises.
My view on each section:
all agree
My web3 qualifications / skills:
Only very basic knowledge on web3.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I run a digital agency (developer of 20 years) in the web2/IRL world but am quickly moving over to the web3 world.
ENS name: lrcpay.eth My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: The crypto world is evolving rapidly,I want to contribute to the development of ens. My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution
Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree
Registration fees exist as 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 solidity developer in the crypto world.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I believe that the UX of Web 3.0 is severely lacking and one of the biggest obstacles that needs to be addressed before it can truly become the next paradigm for the internet. I also believe that ENS is going to play a huge part in pushing the UX forward to bring it more mainstream and I can help ENS achieve those goals.
Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree - The ownership of an ENS domain is a right that everyone should have and should not be infringed upon. However, there should be mechanisms to help prevent abuse of the system from malicious actors. I believe this to be one of the biggest challenges with decentralization within Web 3.0 and hope to be able to contribute my voice to the discussion.
Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree - Like Ethereum itself, there must be costs to interact with ENS to prevent malicious actors from dominating the space and ruining the system for everyone else.
Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree - While I do think that ENS should work towards being able to fund other projects that also subscribe to the same ethos as ENS, I would be very cautious about committing any funds to those projects at least in the short-term. ENS is too important and must be protected at all costs, even if it means not funding other projects.
ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree - This objective needs to happen in order for ENS to become mainstream and be the go-to solution for Web 3.0 identity. There must be at least some continuity from Web 2.0 in order to help the mainstream crowd transition to Web 3.0.
My web3 qualifications / skills:
I currently work for a cryptocurrency startup as the lead QA for the project where I am always considering how the smallest details can affect the Web 3.0 experience from an end-user’s prospective
I am knowledgeable on the current DNS system and currently interact with it on a regular basis through IT consulting work as well as my avid obsession with self-hosting
I have been into cryptocurrency since 2012 when I started mining BTC
Currently studying Vyper (already proficient in Python) as a way to develop a deeper understanding of the EVM
**My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:**To help support the community and drive ENS forward. I’ve been an ENS user from very early on and realized from onset how important it would be to web3; I feel ENS is and will be the center point of the massive metaverse innovation that’s on the horizon… I want to help get the project to the level of adoption that it deserves.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I think i have the motivation to be an ENS Delegator, also i’m really into Ethereum / WEB3 technology in general and i think i can be a delegate and reperesent the Spanish Speaking Community.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I’ve been a user an supporter on ENS since launch.
I see ENS as an important public good. Here is a personal anecdote.
Recently, my registrar emailed me that ICANN was about to cancel my 10+ year domain name. It turned out that someone submitted a false report to some obscure database, which they were obliged to follow.
Yes, I managed to follow their process, and I still retained “ownership” of it. However, the emails were very intimidating and one sided. It was a 48 hour ultimatum, and I was already assumed guilty. What if I didn’t see the email in time? All this basically says is that you do not really own the domain. They do.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: passionate about Ethereum / WEB3 and a hard cole of ENS. I’ve made lots of articles to introduce ENS to China market since joined .eth family. Now we can make more progress by DAO, it is definitely chance for me to apply to the delegate application .
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am from China and have been studying blockchain for years. I can help create the Chinese community. I know some English.

My web3 qualifications / skills: Security, Solidity dev, Smart contract auditing (2 rounds of auditing of ENS modules in the past), System design, leadership
I’ve followed ENS since it’s initial development - actually before it was a thing - when Vitalik first mentioned the concept of public key tied names in a post. My first registered ENS names were lost due to losing access to a private key. I was inspired by the project so I claimed another (despite the fees). The concept of user owned identities really appeals to me in this era of corporate ownership and lend.
Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree
We provide value to platforms by the content we bring to them. If we are adding this value under a “loaned name” corporations can and will de-platform us should it be expedient or profitable to do so.
Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree
Registration fees give names value. If something is free or low cost it is considered worthless. Registration fees also prevent users/groups from squatting.
Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
The value of a service like ENS is directly proportional to its level of adoption. It serves us as a community to leverage funding to assist with integrations.
ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree
My web3 qualifications / skills:
I have been a casual developer in the space for a number of years. Building utilities to better understand Solidity/IPFS/ENS. I have a conventional (Web 2) Computer Science background with a degree on CompSci. I have been involved on a number of governance boards in the conventional space.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:Since I came across BTC in 2013, I am amazed by the rapid development of the field and I have made it my lifelong career and I would like to make my contribution to the spread of the new technology.
Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)- Agree.

My web3 qualifications / skills:I’m a programmer, I’m an active member in many crypto communities, and I know a lot of people who are passionate about blockchain.
My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am a believer in ETHEREUM technology, I have been following the project since 2017, I think that ENS will be fundamental to achieve full adoption (DNS transition → ENS), I am also a person interested in the development of the protocol (ENS), to show all the potential of ETH, DAOs and APPs, I am an enthusiast of free software (GNU-linux) and I consider the implementation of DECENTRALIZED protocols as the main tool to achieve a sustainable and environmentally friendly future. I consider myself an evangelizer of ETH technology and would love to represent those who share this vision.
My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution
Name ownership is an absolute right: I agree, the property must be maintained
Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: This point I consider especially important, the quotas should seek to promote an environment of exclusion for speculators and resellers.
Income funds ENS and other public goods: I agree, the sustainability of the project is important and I think it is a good way to promote the development of WEB3.
ENS Integrates with the global namespace: I agree, the integration with DNS and its subsequent replacement should be objectives of the project.
