A) General DAO News (Elections)

- Steward Election Process
- Steward elections open next Tuesday 30th May on the Forum.
- Open thread is being published early to provide individuals with ample time to register their names, enhance their visibility, and engage in campaign activities by reaching out to delegates in order to secure the votes they require.
- To successfully get onto the ballot for a working group steward election, nominees need to receive 10k votes in support of their nomination.
- Nomination period is between June 6 - 9.
- Election period is between June 10 -15.
Note: there are three steward roles in each Working Group (MetaGov, Ecosystem, & Public Goods). Elected stewards will select a lead steward within their respective working group. DAO secretary is an appointed role by stewards.
- Steward elections open next Tuesday 30th May on the Forum.
@marcus ENS Profile | Twitter**
- @Marcus is considering running for steward
- Among other projects Marcus, is also a representative from Ethereum Guatemala, and wanted to raise a discourse to better understand conflicts of interest
- @vegay @avsa, @alisha.eth, @coltron.eth weighed in on the conversation:
- Overlaps in the ecosystem, relationships and participation can be positive signals to what makes an effective steward.
Being upfront to disclose any overlaps enables the community to decide. In the past, stewards & deletates have found it appropriate to abstain from selective votes, or exclude themselves from selective tasks (as steward/delegate or as builder) when directly linked.
- Overlaps in the ecosystem, relationships and participation can be positive signals to what makes an effective steward.
B) Presentations (Dappnode)

- Dappnode were 1 of the 5 Growth Grant award Winners announced last week.
- lanski.eth came in to say thanks, share a bit about what they do, and give a live demo
- their founders story was shared (covering sovereignty, politics, cencorship, decentralisation, innovation and more) and the inspiration which become the idea of dappnode.
- Dappnode aids users in running decentralised networks. Providing for those who maybe have the means to stake or host, but not technical knowledge. As well as options & tooling to enable communities with much lower economical thresholds to participate in network.
- While there is no way to know who is using dappnode, some self report: there are over 4400 validators and ~11k (8% of Gnosiss network) using Dappnode
- The demo included sharing & navigation of dashboard, the completely decentralised dappstore, examples on running networks, staking UI on ethereum and the click-select & install process.
- Dappnode has free open source software, and sells the plug and play machine. Every package has its own ENS name.
- At least five on the call had their own Dappnode
