The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
After reviewing both proposals for the Developer Advisory Board renewal, we have decided to vote in favor of the one by @zachobront. It was a hard decision as Zach and Ed both have a strong background and are a great fit to lead the DAB.
Zach was a member of the DAB in Season 5, as appointed by the Foundation, and therefore, we feel he has more relevant experience when it comes to the operational side of the board. Moreover, we feel that his proposed board charter is more suited for the Season 6 scope.
Having said that, we highly appreciate the fact that Ed came with a competing proposal, having different visions for the board definitely enriches the discussion around it. We’d love to see Ed active in the collective as we appreciate his skills and experience and believe he’s a valuable member of the Collective.
