The onchain vote to renew the Uniswap Accountability Committee (UAC) has passed. We will commence with the election of two new committee members. This present forum post will serve as the space for candidates interested in applying to the UAC to submit their applications. For a detailed account of the type of work that the UAC conducts and will plan on undertaking during Season 3, please read the Season 2 Report.
Committee Details
- The UAC will consist of 5 people for increased work capacity and multisig security.
- Budget for the number of hours a month is 30 hours/month @ $200/hour
- For foreseeable seasons, we are adopting a staggered election system to retain three current members on the committeeâthis helps sustain momentum and continuity with existing projects. We believe a degree of stickiness with the UAC team is important since conducting the noted operations requires subject matter expertise and familiarity with the DAO.
- Going forward, the UAC will internally decide which members will be reelected, that is if two members donât voluntarily not run again.
- Season 3 will last for about 6 months, through March 2025.
Eligibility Criteria
You are only allowed to apply as an individualânot as an organization, using your DAO-recognized name and identity. Although you may be associated with an organization, it is important to have representation from a designated point-person to ensure clear accountability. Multisig operations are also less obscure when dealing with a single individual, and since the UAC is responsible for escrowing and deploying large amounts of funds, this will increase trust from the DAO.
Application Logistics
- If you wish to apply for a position in the UAC, please comment on this post by completing the below application template. Please keep responses brief and to the point.
- The application deadline is Tuesday, October 1st @ 12am UTC.
- All applicants meeting the outline requirements will be included in a Snapshot vote.
- The Snapshot will run for 5 days, between October 2nd - October 7th.
- The top two candidates will become active UAC members for S3.
Voting Fairplay (Max Matching)
- If you or anyone from your organization is applying for a UAC position, you are not allowed to designate 100% of your voting power to the candidate in question. The maximum self-voting % allowed is 50%, and this amount must be at least evenly distributed among other candidates. The maximum self-vote percentage in any scenario must be matched equally with at least one other candidate.
- Example: if you self-vote with 50% of your voting power, you must give one more candidate the other 50% (max matching 50%). If you self-vote with 25% of your voting power, you may divide the remaining 75% among as many candidates as you like, as long as one other candidate also receives 25% (max matching 25%). The self-vote % is simply your own voting cap that must be matched at least once with another applicant.
- This setup introduces a cap to self-voting, while simultaneously giving a degree of priority to yourself, as we understand that you would not be applying if you didnât feel like a qualified candidate. This is something that was âsoft consensusâ decided when some issues arose with the treasury working group vote a few months ago.
