SEED Latam | Regarding the selection of the new badgeholders for our members

The concerns are strictly related to the criteria, not how much time she has spent in the forum.

How to distribute your voting badge

The Optimism Foundation will distribute badges using the following guidelines, and encourages others to consider these criteria in their own distribution:

Can this person help advance the process and structure of RetroPGF as a funding mechanism?

Is this person a domain expert in any of the categories up for funding in RetroPGF?

Has this person shown strong alignment with the long term growth of the Optimism ecosystem and the mission of the Collective?

Can this person expand the diversity of viewpoints and insights from which evaluations are made?

@Joxes

• There is an implicit perception of a community member stuck into some measurables, which is unhealthy. It is not only about the time spent or activity of your forum account and some deliverables; Optimism has been characterized by having an inclusive and extensive ethos as the Ethereum community does.
• • Something interesting as an exercise: according to the Optimism discord, Ethereum co-founder vbuterin is now a badgeholder. What do I think of this? I believe it’s fantastic!; yes, he doesn’t spend much time publicly in official discussion instances, but we all know that he has a lot to contribute (and already did in so many fields on scaling, public goods funding, and a lot more). Nobody has any doubt about it, it would also be unfair to judge him using metrics or search examples.

Your choice seems based on the personal relationship between @CryptoChica and @Lucya_eth + Lucy’s involvement in EthKipu. It seems as if you’re grooming badgeholders to push your project’s agenda instead of nominating people based on the criteria outlined above.
