Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP) Council Voting

Description

On June 20, 2024, a call for GCP Council nominees was posted to the forum. This DAO elected council will be made of experienced members to join a collaborative brain trust that advises and oversees the GCP.

Council members will leverage their deep DAO governance experience, industry knowledge and financial expertise to guide the program’s strategic direction and ensure the utmost transparency to the Arbitrum DAO.

Please see the candidate thread for details associated with each candidate nomination.

We strive to be thoughtful during the voting processes to ensure that a range of skills and expertise are represented on the GCP Council. To that end, all Nominees should be evaluated based on their ability to contribute to a well-balanced council.

Please note:

• This election is for three open seats on the GCP Council.
• All applicants were asked to specify a single domain for the election. For instance, a DAO member with both venture capital and technology experience should choose the domain that best represents their primary focus for the election.
• Domains are additional information for the DAO to select a well balanced council and are not requirements to be represented in the overall council. (the DAO can vote for two members of one domain, and/or no members for another domain)
• Applicants are grouped by domain to encourage well-balanced voting and to ensure the council has a diverse set of skills.
• We have two Council Members chosen by the GCP working group with deep experience in games oriented venture capital and business development that will be going through a re-confirmation vote later this year.

This election structure is weighted, meaning delegates may allocate their voting power to several candidates.
