SEED Latam - Delegate Communication Thread

[Joxes]

Cycle #23b

Below, we present the rationale from the SEED Latam delegation for our voting during cycle #23b.

• Season 6: Anticapture Commission Amendment: In favor.
  After a review, we agree with the updates for this commission and we believe they are heading in the right direction for the upcoming season.

• (Final) V2. Code of Conduct Council Operating budget re-scope for season 6. (cycle 23b): In favor.
  Although we believe the budget is still slightly high, we think it is important for this commission to have continuity, as we mentioned below.

@seedlatam

As we mentioned before, we recognize the importance of the work carried out by this body. That’s why we noted that the negative vote decision leans more towards budget issues rather than the council’s management itself.

We acknowledge and value the efforts made to refine the Code of Conduct and recognize that the budget reduction of 17,000 OP is significant, but we believe the total value of the operating budget remains high.

• Upgrade Proposal #9: Fjord Network Upgrade: In favor.
  we consider the changes very reasonable and the benefits are clearly explained as we discussed below.

@habacuc.eth

After commenting on this upgrade with @Joxes and the SEED Latam delegation, we are thrilled by its versatility, efficiency, and resilience. From expanding the possibility of signing from any device to its significant impact on Data Availability and protocol-level efficiency, the Fjord upgrade brings a lot to the network.

• Season 6: Chain Delegation Program Amendment: In favor.
  Given our current context, this program seems appropriate to relauch.

• Season 6 Elections: Developer Advisory Board: Voting for devtooligan, wildmolasses, wbnns, blockdev, anika, merklefruit and noah.eth.
  It has been challenging to select only five nominees, given the impressive skills and track record presented by each member. We have chosen these seven candidates, and we greatly thank the rest for their nomination.

• Grants Council Reviewer Elections: Mission Reviewer: Voting for katie, Jrocki, Michael, mastermojo, GFXlabs, MattL, jackanorak, MoneyManDoug, brichis, habacuc.eth via seedlatam, Tane and Antoine.

@seedlatam

We have voted for @MattL, @Michael, @mastermojo, @GFXlabs, @jackanorak,@MoneyManDoug and @katie, who were members of the Grants Council last season and all did an excellent job. They will be key to maintaining outstanding performance in Season 6. Additionally, we have chosen @brichis, @Jrocki, Tane and Antoine for their combination of experience and alignment with Optimism. Finally, we voted for our candidate @habacuc.eth, who brings significant context from working internally with Joxes at the Grants Council during Season 5, along with a technical background related to the OP Stack. He is well-prepared to represent SEED Latam in this role.

• Grants Council Reviewer Elections: Milestones and Metrics Reviewer: Voting for Juanbug_PGov, mmurthy and v3naru_Curia.

@seedlatam

We vote for mmurthy, v3naru_Curia and Juanbug_PGov because they participated in the Milestones and Metrics subcommittee of the Grants Council in previous seasons. Considering their positive performance and the necessary context and experience they have for the challenge of the new season, we reelect them for this season.

• Grants Council Reviewer Elections: Audit Reviewer: Voting for m4rio.eth and leo.sagan via seedlatam.

@seedlatam

We vote for m4rio.eth and leo.sagan because both possess the technical knowledge required for the position.
