Update on the Election Process

Candidates

Firstly, happy to report that we have 5 candidates to consider - the 3 current members and 2 other well known community members. Here are their posts:

Community members are encouraged to review these candidacy posts in order to make an informed decision when voting opens.

Governance Guild Delegates and Voting Schedule

As it happens, the current MGG Term 2 ends at the end of November when Term 3 will begin. In order to avoid the elections to be decided by voting of just a few MGG delegates, the Moonbeam Foundation will revoke its MGG delegations and wait until the Treasury Council elections conclude before delegating to the Term 3 delegates.

However, the governance vote for RT4001 will be open until ~ December 9th and requires the support from the Term 2 delegates to pass.

Therefore, the referenda for the TC elections will not be created until December 10th.

Reminder that winners will be determined by total support and not approval. Thus conviction will not be taken into account.

The voting will run for approximately 7 days. Candidate winners will be based on the order in which their respective referendum receives the needed approval to confirm and execute.

After the 7 days, if there are not yet 3 winners, the Foundation will vote with abstain to provide the necessary support for the remaining referenda to pass until there are 3 winners. This will be applied across the outstanding referenda in descending order according to the support level they have reached.

Following this, the winners will be announced and a final vote will go on-chain to formally alter the treasury council addresses later in December (after addresses are collected by the Foundation).

Please reply with any questions you may have.
