Hi everyone,
Out of kindness, I had started to comment/encourage the first few applications and then refrained (sorry for the others) as I don’t want to appear to pollute the thread unnecessarily.
I notice that, as in many other organisations (even outside crypto), the number of candidates is low compared to the number of members/users, despite the proposed incentive.
So we often find the same articulation in DAOs:
- A group of founders/developers
- A group of delegates/ambassadors/facilitators to the community
- A group of the most senior community members and/or a group of community members who are particularly active in the various discussion channels.
Other community members are rarely included because they don’t apply or because the places are reserved in advance.
So far, I notice that the MIMO Snapshot has only 21 registered members and that each MIMO protocol change proposal has only about 15 voters at most.
I systematically vote as a matter of principle even though I know that my vote carries no weight: at present, it is the team that has the capacity to guide decisions but I appreciate its willingness to gradually integrate users.
The proposal of DAO multisig goes in this direction, that’s why I want to address the members of the team in priority while also hoping to convince the other Mimotaurs:
I am of course convinced of the necessity of the presence in the DAO of the three groups indicated above, but I am also convinced of the necessity of integrating the fourth group which is rarely present, because, if the idea is to decentralise, why extend the power only to the extensions of the same hands?
I am not a computer technician nor a crypto-currency specialist, I am not a delegate nor a community leader, I do not have much seniority, I am not very active on the channels, so I do not have any of the qualities usually required to apply.
On the other hand, I totally adhere to the MIMO philosophy (日本哲学 ? ), this is my first investment in DEFI for which I make a regular financial effort because I am an unconditional believer in its (also humanistic) long-term potential, I read the published texts and watch the videos, I am present on the communication channels without necessarily manifesting myself, I learn and cultivate myself to the maximum, I can therefore reasonably think that I am quite representative of the common early adopter who undoubtedly forms the majority of the community, with the difference that I am perhaps more committed than most because from the beginning I blocked a lot of Mimo in the VotingEscrow contract (before and without knowing that this blocking would allow me to receive income) in order to be able to participate in the decisions.
That’s why I’m running for the fourth and final spot on the DAO multisig, so that there is at least one community representative who is not from the technically sophisticated users, who can bring a different and quirky but probably constructive perspective.
Thank you (and wish me luck, I need it)
