Grants council self-nomination
Council sub-committee: Reviewer
If you are a delegate, please provide the link to your delegate profile:
If you are a delegate, please indicate what % of votable supply is delegated to you: (voting power can be referenced here 2)
That would be painfull 
Let’s say that I start my journey.
If you are a delegate, please indicate your voting participation rate in OP governance to date: (You may link to your profile on Karma 7 3, if applicable.)
Same here: Not really active with this doxed Addy. I start my journey.
Please link to your voting history and any voting rationale you’ve shared: (You may link to your Snapshot and/or Agora profile for voting history. You may link to your delegate communication thread, or any other medium you use to communicate with your delegators, to share your voting rationale.)
My rationale are actually that we need to improve governance in the collective and leverage deliberative processes to do so.

Do you have a technical background?: If so, please elaborate
Not really. I used to code in HTML2 and 3 …. My technical background is in social technologies of collective decision making.
But: I mined BTC in 2011 (lost the computer), validate/d on 10+ chains among which are Cosmos, Matic, Presearch, Gnosis, Celestia, Near, Casper, etc.
Also I am regularly in the top 100 Debank profile and top 50 Degenscore (non-doxed addy). I use 50+ chains, my Nonce on Optimism in the in the thousands.
Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role and/or your sub-committee:
I’m a seasoned project manager, and co-director of a company, I coordinated multiple complex projects reaching 10K+ citizens, leveraging 5M€ budgets, designing decision making.
I am also used to myself apply to grants on a regular basis so I know the drill from the user perspective.
Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective? If so, please specify which:
Nope!
Please outline your contributions, and their impact, to the Optimism ecosystem to date:
I have started to work on the question of governance and its improvement. Particularly I am now working with the OP foundation on the first pilot of deliberative governance: Experimenting with Deliberative Processes in the Collective - #2 by abcoathup
Generally, I am contributing to the thinking and practice on how we manage to avoid falling in the same pitfalls as we have done in large sized representative governments. I think that Web3 can bring a lot to improve human collaboration at scale, but the risk is looming to fall back to nepotism, factions and apathy.
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:
A good Missions application is not only about metrics, milestones, budget. It is about the mission and spirit of the team, about its mindset and alignment with the vision of the collective. You can have applications that are perfect on the paper but are extractive of the collective.
What types of Mission Requests do you think will help achieve the Season 6 Intents?:
I think that season 6 intent on the superchain will demand a high level of consensus finding and collaboration. Having mission requests around finding the best processes to do so is a necessity.
Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: If you are a top 25 delegate in another ecosystem, hold an elected position in another DAO, and/or are a multisig signer in another community please disclose here.
Nope
