What Does This Mean for Delegates?

Token House Code of Conduct Council Members will be elected via approval voting in Special Voting Cycle #23b (full details in the Season 6 Reflection Period Guide.) Approval voting is a mechanism that allows each delegate to vote for as many nominees as they choose with equal voting power. The nominees with the highest percentage of approval votes will be elected to the Council. Please note this policy in Optimist Expectations:

In the case of approval/ranked choice elections, delegates may vote for themselves, so long as they also cast votes for the remaining elected positions.

Example: I can vote for my own candidacy on the Growth Experiments committee, so long as I also cast 4 additional votes (a total of 5 votes, as there are 5 open positions on the sub-committee.)

Please note the above outlined voting mechanism is subject to change depending on Council structure and number of eligible candidates.

Based on the recent tweet, I’m going to that these dates posted are incorrect as they are past due.
In that case, I would like to request that S6 Code of Conduct dates are updated to reflect the new time frame.

Thanks for flagging! The dates have been adjusted to reflect the new time frame.

Hello everyone! I’m Eve, excited to nominate myself for the Season 6 Code of Conduct Council. I am new to the Optimism ecosystem as I have been on the lookout for opportunities to integrate my passions for meditation, energy healing & effective human collaboration into web3. I am aligned with Optimism’s vision to fork capitalism & build an equitable internet, & I would be honored to serve on the Council. Thank you for your consideration.

Have you attended GravityDAO’s conflict resolution training?:
Yes

If so, what was the most impactful learning you took away from this training?:
Conflict is not something to be avoided or feared, but embraced as a motor for change & growth. By embracing conflict & tools for constructive conflict management like transformational platforms, communication, active listening & mediation, we can develop resilient DAOs, ecosystems & protocols in web3. Effective conflict management is essential to the success of the web3 movement since conflicts are inherent to human nature & have occurred throughout history. Effective conflict resolution is ultimately a journey of the heart which must be at the foundation of the technology & tools we build to create an equitable internet & bright future for all.

Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role:

  • meditation teacher certifications including Ananda Meditation Teacher & Sura Flow Meditation Coach
  • energy healing certifications including Reiki level I & advanced chakra study
  • consult with web3 teams to implement meditation & energy work as collaboration tools through my company, Apple Tree Meditation
  • hosted meditation workshops in web3 conferences/events including MetaFest, Regens Unite Berlin, ReFi Week @ Traditional Dream Factory & MetaCamp
  • hosting Graviton study group for ReFi DAO local nodes
  • web3/blockchain education through Kernel, SheFi & ReFi talents programs
  • I bring my lived experience as a woman in predominantly male tech & web3 spaces

no

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 all applications and assessing each nominee’s relevant experience, we decided to cast our vote for the following people:

  • Bubli.eth
  • CryptoReuMD
  • Oxytocin
  • Pumbi
  • fujiar

Unfortunately, our vote was erroneously cast as ‘Abstain’ instead of in favor of the people we wanted to vote for. We are not sure why that happened (when casting the vote we thought all was good), but it seems it was some kind of an interface glitch. We contacted Agora as soon as we found out, but it couldn’t be undone.

We suggested Agora two changes that could be implemented in the future to make sure that this does not happen again:

  • ideally, it should be possible to change the vote after it has been cast, but we understand that this is a major change that requires further discussion
  • as a quick fix it might make sense to have a separate confirmation step after all the choices and comments have been made but before the UI asks for signing the transaction, that way the user would be presented with the exact vote that he is going to cast and sign in the next step

We apologise to anyone affected by this error, it was not intentional.

@kaereste This is bad luck, saw @Bubli.eth would have been on the 4th place and now missing the opportunity because of the glitch.

Raises question, if there are other proposals/ nominations that have got impacted as well in the past or present.

@Amber Thanks for getting this up on this platform and also voting for me.

@kaereste Thank you for voting for me.

Thanks to all the delegates who have voted for me after reviewing all applications and assessing each nominee’s relevant experience.

Coming on the 4th position and failing to be part of the council due to Agora UX glitch is very sad situation.

I am not aware what recourse or dedicated platform I have to raise a request.

I request @lavande Governance Head to pls look into this.

I understand your disappointment/frustration but we must honor the actual onchain governance outcomes. Manually editing vote outcomes based on offchain information sets a precedent that is not in the Collective’s best interest. That means the results of the election will stand as cast onchain (there will be no change to membership.)

We also reached out to Agora to let them know about the issue so they can take steps to prevent similar mistakes in the future. I understand your disappointment, but it is very important not to override onchain governance outcomes.

Thank you for the proposal. In the decision-making phase, we considered factors such as the history of DAO involvement, the relationship with blockchain technology, and relevant management experience or career background. Based on these criteria, our choices are:

  • Oxytocin: A well-known DAO participant with strong management skills.
  • fujiar: A recognized member of the DAO community who has also held significant roles related to Optimism.
  • gospelofchange: While not experienced with DAOs, he has successfully organized several events.
  • Bubli.eth: She has held various roles in different DAOs, some of which involved management responsibilities.
  • NazreAssad: An individual with management experience who has taken on various related roles.

Hey everyone,

First of all, I wanted to thank all Token House delegates who decided to vote for me this season, I really appreciate the confidence. I will work again in ensuring transparent communications between Token House members and the Council, and if you have any questions about anything, feel free to shoot a DM and I will be happy to respond.

I’m saddened to hear about an Agora UX issue altering the final result of the council, but as @lavande confirmed above that the on-chain result cannot be altered, I am trying to think of solutions on how we could go forward.

@Bubli.eth , the new council hasn’t assembled yet, but if interested, I could propose to the council to have you as a potential help in future matters. Afterwards, the council could apply for Retro Funding to reward the impact given. Let me know if you’d be up for this and I can bring it up on the first meeting!

Thanks @Oxytocin.

Thanks @lavande for the reply.

I never wanted to get the on-chain decision altered, but received many DM’s and wanted to highlight this for any new or future issues that may arise. Being part of multiple DAO’s for many years now, I did not face such issue, so learning from experts, how this kind of issue will be handled, as I believe Optimism has some great experts in the industry and they ensure looking at things from all aspects.

I am happy to help the COCC and contribute to Optimism with my experience and expertise.

Please keep me updated on this.

On behalf of the @Codeofconduccouncil, we want to thank Bubli and contributors interested in supporting the Code of Conduct.

We have spent a session discussing in what potential ways non-elected members could have assisted, but considering the current workload of the council, we could not find any direct work that could be delegated to more members.

As discussed by all members, the current Code of Conduct Council structure was elected from a renewed version following feedback from Delegates, with a focus on governance minimisation. This, along with the new scope of the council this season to only enforce Rules of Engagement, has made it challenging to introduce additional ways of participation.

Considering we are already halfway through Season 6, we believe that the best way forward would be to focus ahead on the upcoming Season 7 and reflection period. This can be thinking of ways that the new council could be run, as well as individual governance contributions which could be related to the same ideals as the CoCC , but funded under RPGF.

I hope this explanation has been clear, and let me know if you have additional questions!
