GOC-0002 DAO Membership has been executed and I’m excited to put forward my first candidate for DAO membership from the Advocates cohort for @259tim (discord handle: Pixel#1812)
Tim has joined the Advocates program a few months ago in wave 2 and made an instant impact in the DAO. He organized community call meetings on Fridays where everyone was able to join, chat and get to know one another. He worked with @Mr.1776 and @Slimchance to set up the new Introduction channel on discord which is now a place where new members can receive a warm welcome as they join. Tim also participated actively in the design of the soon-to-be-launched Advocate contributions process, which will become a critical workflow for the DAO to recognize Advocate engagements.
We also see Tim actively supporting the DAO with due diligence on new community grant proposals. That is an important part of the community grant process to ensure that the DAO issues quality grants that are mission-aligned. All of these contributions made by Tim came from his own drive. He has proactively taken initiative and showcased how to engage in a permissionless structure we have at the Graph AdvocatesDAO. Permissionless engagement in the DAO does not mean "do what you want”, but rather identifying opportunities that are aligned with the mission of the DAO and which one has passion for, and then roll up the sleeves to go after it. Thank you for all your contributions, Tim, and I hope to see you joining the DAO soon.
To clarify procedural next steps in accordance with GOC-0002:
- @259tim, please confirm via response in this thread if you would like to accept the nomination as a candidate for Graph AdvocatesDAO membership
- DAO & community members are invited to share their own thoughts and feedback on this nomination via responses in this thread
- In ~ one week I will proceed with creating a formal on-chain membership proposal for Tim in DAOHaus
- In the case of a positive outcome of the DAO vote in DAOHaus, Tim would subsequently be onboarded to the DAO
