We would like to first state that all five applicants are highly qualified, each capable of contributing value to the committee. With that said, in the spirit of continuous improvement, we advocate for the inclusion of fresh perspectives. In line with this, we have voted for @0xpibblez, @Frisson, @AbdullahUmar. We value the innovative ideas presented by these applicants, particularly their proactive strategies and the proposal of data-driven approaches to assess success post-deployment.
Incumbency on the council is necessary — with five applicants and four spots, this is guaranteed, and a factor that also led us to prioritize the new candidates. Regardless of the outcome, we our confident that this committee will be successful and look forward to seeing what all it can accomplish over the next 6 months.
