I’m adding @HCNAT0_NEU_Blockhain discord question here:
Looks great Dhannte! Do you have any thoughts on how to keep in touch with delegates not on council about your voting decisions if voted in / information provided as an individual during the research and suggestion phases?

And my answer:

1. Yes, it’s a great question to put on the forum tbh haha but i’ll answer here. I want to set up a 30 to 60 min weekly call were delegates and proposers can join. - 3 min pitch from the proposer - 2 min tldr with pros/cons from the builders committee - 5 min open mic for AMA (or more if needed) - 1 min Poll with all participants to get a general opinion This should happen on a discord server with a collabland filtered channel where you sign in with your delegate wallet and you have at least 0.1% delegation If we have to many proposals then pitch and pros/cons will be on the weekly call forum thread, and we go directly to 5min open mic for ama and poll (edited)

Yes, it’s a great question to put on the forum tbh haha but I’ll answer here. I want to set up a 30 to 60 min weekly call where delegates and proposers can join.

• 3 min pitch from the proposer
• 2 min tldr with pros/cons from the builder’s committee
• 5 min open mic for AMA (or more if needed)
• 1 min Poll with all participants to get a general opinion

This should happen on a discord server with a collabland filtered channel where you sign in with your delegate wallet and you have at least 0.1% delegation If we have too many proposals then the pitch and pros/cons will be on the weekly call forum thread, and we go directly to 5min open mic for ama and poll.

this is hilarious. i was thinking about maybe doing a self nomination just for fun, ya know, every race needs a dark horse.

But now after reading all this, yeah i guess im way under qualified lmfaoooo.

[Gonna.eth]

I’m sorry you feel that way, I’m sure you have a lot to bring to the table, and tbh I also feel underqualified. It seems that’s the spirit when you are into this, keep it humble.

[Sunfire]

oh i was mostly just trying to toss you a compliment fren hahaha.

i actually have been thinking about it…i think for this specific task i actually have a lot of IRL experience that can be valuable.

might be good to have an older cat thats not a coder but has been a degen junky for over two years now. think i may still submit one but tbh i have hours of reading to do in order to catch up on all the reflection period stuff haha
