Shimmer Community Grant Committee selection - Results of Phase 1 and kickoff of Phase 2

Results of Phase 1:

Following our defined Committee member selection process, we present the results of Phase 1 and explain the next steps.

Phase 1 of the committee member selection began on 10 November. We created two separate categories for the candidates:

In total, we received 23 applications for the Grant Reviewer Position and four applications for the Committee Lead position.

The ability to show support for candidates by giving them a vote in a poll included in their application ended on 3 December.

Here are the final counted votes for every candidate.

Out of all these applications, we had now to determine which candidate would make it to phase 2 of the selection process and the selection has been based on the specification set for the selection process.

These are the candidates that will be part of Phase 2:

A.) Committee Lead candidates qualified for Phase 2:

(sorted by the number of received votes)

B.) Grant Reviewer candidates qualified for Phase 2:

(sorted by the number of received votes)

Note: A development has created the need to set an additional rule for candidates to move to phase 2 of the process. Several candidates are Team members of the same ecosystem project, which could lead to a potential critical concentration of power and conflicts of interest in the final committee. Many community members have approached us about this issue. This was something that the governance group had not considered while designing the framework, and we, therefore, decided in our public Community Governance meeting on November 22th to allow only one member per ecosystem project to become a committee member.

The candidates have been informed about this and allowed to withdraw their applications to determine which team members should run for phase 2. Where no withdrawal took place, we decided on the number of achieved votes and which candidate could move into the next step.

Phase 2 Temperature check Poll

The Phase Polls to determine which candidate will be included in the final Phase 3 Firefly vote will start this Friday, 09/12/2022, at 1 pm CET.

You can find the details in the specification.

It will consist of 2 separate Polls:

1.) Poll to determine the votes for the Grant Committee Lead:

2.) Poll to determine the votes for the Grant Reviewer candidates:

  • 1 week poll period
  • 14 candidates
  • every voter can choose a maximum of 4 out of these 14 candidates
  • the top 10 candidates will move to Phase 3 Firefly vote

Information about Phase 3:

  • Due to Firefly Wallet’s inability to roll out the Governance functionality in the Shimmer Firefly Wallet in December, the Phase 3 Firefly vote will be scheduled in January once the governance functionality is available in Firefly.
