Greetings, Optimism Community!
I am very grateful for the opportunity to provide feedback at the GovNERD Core Season 7 election.
Here are some suggestions from me:
- Make sure first whether the winning candidate is experienced or has active performance in Governance Optimism (GovNERD).
- Perhaps the GovNERD Core election system in the future will be carried out openly so that all candidates can see it. What values or criteria are used to determine the winners?
- With the goal of being better and developing, it should give opportunities to candidates who are committed and serious to get a role in Governance, sometimes they lose in popularity and do not have a role in the field of Optimism Governance.
- Honestly, as a GovNERD Core applicant, I was initially very happy with the information about Registration to look for 9 GovNERD Core, but the fact is that the winner was only 6 out of 15 candidates.
- Maybe in the future Optimism Governance will open up new roles and provide opportunities for candidates who do not yet have a Governance role, so that they are enthusiastic and committed to advancing together in Optimism.
Even if I fail this time I will try again in the next period, always Optimistic.
Warm greetings from me, Thank You.

@op_julian suggested I provide some direct feedback here from a recent govNERD discussion.
I fill in A LOT of forms for Optimism, as a participant in a contribution path, grant recipient, RF recipient, badgeholder etc..
each form I fill out for Optimism I need to give them the same redundant information:
- Name
- Telegram
- Discord
- Github
- Farcaster
- Atlas Profile
- Wallet Addres
and sometimes I even let them scan my face and give them a copy of my passport.
Why is it that I need to provide this information over and over again for each iteration of RF or each new initiative I join? All of this remains within the bounds of Optimism Foundation’s operations, shouldn’t this information already be accessible to you?
I would hope you can remember who I am by this point 
My Suggestion
Create a contributor repository, accessible to only workstream leads and necessary foundation employees This repository would contain basic contact data of anyone who has participated in an Optimism program and has opted-in to having their contact information stored.
Benefits
- Workstream leads have faster access to ways to contact members of their workstream
- Contributors can spend less time filling out forms with redundant information
- Decrease overall bureacracy of Optimism processes
Let this be our mantra:
Do 
better than government agencies
