On Friday June 14, 2024, representatives from Intersect, the Cardano Foundation, and IOG held and moderated a 4+ hour long Twitter space. The big idea was to give individuals and entities running for a seat on Cardano’s upcoming “Interim Constitutional Committee” (ICC) the opportunity to introduce themselves and respond to some questions. More than a dozen individuals and entities were represented. Each was allotted a short time to present themselves, and then they were asked a set of questions.

The Cardano Constitution is a document currently being drafted as part of the network’s Voltaire development phase. The goal of Voltaire is to move management of Cardano from 3 entities to everyone that holds Ada.

The Constitutional Committee (CC) will be a body of entities and/or individuals that is empowered to make sure that all decisions around Cardano Governance and management adhere to the Constitution.

The Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) is a one year role to facilitate trying out the first draft of the constitution (A training wheels of sorts). By the end of their tenure, a revised constitution is expected to be drafted and ratified in 2025. At that point the ICC will be disbanded and a new election for a longer tenure Constitutional Committee (CC) will take place.

The ICC will be made of 7 members. IOG, the Cardano Foundation, EMURGO, and Intersect will claim four seats. That leaves 3 seats yet to be filled. There will be an on-chain vote to fill these remaining 3 seats. To learn more about the Constitutional Committee, the ICC vote, and how to participate, visit https://icc-election.intersectmbo.org/.

This article is an effort to disseminate a recently held 4 hour long Twitter space with the candidates running for the ICC with a dollop of Levity.

Full transcripts and audio clips of each candidate available at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Kftroh6F5M_tn4JjvQIqY9XuYKtdrt1z?usp=drive_link

And now, let’s Meet The Candidates

00:03:48
Space is starting, Greetings started. Introductions of facilitators and special guests completed. Nico, the CF governance lead and representative cut his paid-time off short to help moderate the space.

00:06:00
Greetings completed. Lara, the host, discovered the drum roll button. Now we’re off to the races.

00:06:13
Charles Hoskinsons, special guest from IOG, enchants the room with words youtubers will be clipping for the next two weeks trying to convince their audience to buy ada.

“The point of the committee is to reality bootstrap everything. Get things where they need to go. And be a stable government. Until we have the final form. Now that we have chain tools, we can get a final form that’s ratified by the majority of the Cardano community and all the various stakeholders. As an institution that’s serving on the interim committee, our role will end when the final form is ratified and input output will not run for reelection on the constitutional committee.”

Charles commits IOG to not running for another term on the ICC… and instead focuses on being an engineering firm, leaving the governance to the community. He also throws the ball over to the Cardano Foundation and Emurgo, the other two founding entities and current custodians of Cardano.

00:14:28
Charles’ (@IOHK_Charles) introduction ends. Back to the host

00:16:21
“We’re going to do this alphabetically just to make sure it’s equal for everyone.”

The Atlantic Council.

00:17:43 - 00:26:46
Introduction (my light take)
Rick McCracken DIGI (@RichardMcCrackn) promises 3 mins but he really means 4 minutes.

The Atlantic Council is made of 6 OGs from the community: Rick’s pool was one of the first Cardano stake pools launched. Jenny Brito has a copy of every NFT ever launched. Adam owns half of the companies currently in the Cardano ecosystem. (These may be exaggerations…or are they?)

The group already has a charter. It is not open source, but available in Github.

The Atlantic Council enacted their first governance action right in the space… they changed the rules of the space structure, extending introductions to 4 minutes and questions to 6.

Q & A
How does internal Consensus within your group work?
Internal Consensus is a 4 of 6 multisignature. If there’s a tie or cannot reach quorum the default vote is to abstain.

Transparency of Decision making? Where will deliberation take place, will that be published? Transparency will come from relevant rationale “as to what drove the decision outcome.” Don’t expect every micro detail.

What precedent would you like to set for Horizontal communication with other ICC members? A single member of the Atlantic Council will be nominated to travel and meet with the ICC then relay that information back to the group. The nominated member will depend on who is most qualified or available at the time.

The Cardano Confederation of Emerging Economies (CCEE).

00:26:46 - 00:37:27

Introduction (my light take)

“I am nobody, and my name doesn’t matter. I am @CardanoSolar on twitter. You can call me JJ. What matters is who I represent.”

“Remember remember the 5th of November. Just like this famous phrase, we’re here to remind you fo the power of ideas.”

Don’t the reference here and google was not helpful but JJ was pretty passionate about this quote as his introduction.

“The confederation is made up of 6 Cardano ambassadors, 14 stake pool operators and 15 communities, mainly from Latin America and Africa.”

Some people have customers, others clients, some yet contacts, but the confederation will have none of these, “only friends–a big network of friends across Latin America and the world..”

For the Norwegians modeled ethical code that will govern all their actions, visit www.Cardanoconfederation.org.

Charles comment 09:30 minutes in: The CF and IOG will provide both knowledge and infrastructure transfer. Charles is willing to donate things like hardware wallets, safes, etc.

Q & A
How does internal Consensus within your group work?
For internal consensus the confederation will rely on deep knowledge stemming from their brotherhood and sisterhood. Groups of specialists will take the lead depending on the vote and subject matter. It’s not clear what internal multisig consensus will look like (4 out of 6, 11 out of 50, etc)… still open for discussion.

Transparency of Decision making? Where will deliberation take place, will that be published? To maintain transparency around deliberations, a rationale will be published each time via public channels, like social media.

What precedent would you like to set for Horizontal communication with other ICC members? For vertical communication with other ICC members, “we will choose a safe way for the community, accounting for technologies like PGP to make sure whatever channel is chosen is completely safe.”

Eastern Cardano Council (ECC)

00:39:20 - 00:49:18
Introduction (my light take)
“konnichiwa, Annyong, Haseo, Sinchoi, Kia Ora and hello.“

They speak 6 languages and interface with the community in their native language to promote both participation and legitimacy/trust.

“With Cardano’s origins being in East Asia, there are still a lot of ADA holders we would like to encourage to become involved in the Voltaire era of centralized governance.”

The ECC has their “very own Cardano girl.”

The ECC is the second group with a published governance framework/charter, also source available in github.

Q & A
How does internal Consensus within your group work?
The internal governance structure is similar to the Atlantic council. 60% majority multisig is required for consensus. There’s a minimum requirement for quorum… the group is open to adding additional members.

Transparency of Decision making? Where will deliberation take place, will that be published? For publishing decision rationales and deliberation outputs, there will be formal publication to a github repo with the hash of documents on chain. There will also be informal publication, relying on regional preferences depending on the language and location… Facebook here, Twitter somewhere else, etc.

What precedent would you like to set for Horizontal communication with other ICC members? For horizontal communication precedence, the ECC, like the Atlantic Council, will leverage individual expertise in the group to do any traveling for in person deliberations with other ICC members.

Cardano Japan Consortium

00:59:47 - 01:11:43
Introduction (my light take)
There are 5 Cadano ambassadors including one constitutional law practitioner in this group.

They believe that ICC members must be OG or at least know where Cardano came from. Oh also, you can’t come in with left or right politics… It’s all about balance.

“We represent the largest Cardano community in the world, both in terms of membership and Ada holdings.”
wen Crazy UTXO Rich Asians: The Byron Generation?

“The Japanese community has been isolated for so long due to language barriers. Our goal is to bridge this gap.”

I think this means Cardano is finally getting some real liquidity… more voting power for minswap?

Q & A
How does internal Consensus within your group work?
For internal consensus…. Short answer: A multisig with 3 of 5 thresholds. Long answer: 4 step process:

  1. Socialization of ideas at online and offline meetings.
  2. Internal vertical discussion among the 5.
  3. Horizontal Discussion with the ICC
  4. Vote with 3 of 5 multisig with published meeting meetings and rationale first on github, then disseminated across different social media accounts

Transparency of Decision making? Where will deliberation take place, will that be published? Published meeting meetings and rationale first on github, then disseminated across different social media accounts

What precedent would you like to set for Horizontal communication with other ICC members? Precedence for horizontal communication and working depends on the frequency but the preference will be in person. Meetings can piggyback on Cardano annual events such as the Cardano summit, etc. But zoom works too! Also to make in person meetings more viable, discussions can be bundled. If it’s a lot of action, some continuous discussions (like an online or chat platform, etc) should be deployed to facilitate communication.

Internet Native Organization (INO NPO)

01:12:54 - 01:27:29
Introduction (my light take)
They are already a 2 year old Estonian organization – a 15 person legally registered DAO with a 3 person board and everything.

Most detailed we’ve heard on the space so far, about the inner workings of the group running for the ICC. Also the longest intro so far… had to be interrupted by one of the co-host.

They’ve been working to normalize DAO as a structure for centralized organizations.

Their fiat estonian bank has multisig! What an idea!

Q & A
How does internal Consensus within your group work?
Consensus happens by weekly meeting, notion for recording, discord for discussion. There’s also a snapshotting tool for recording decisions on-chain. There is a 3 person board that sits at the top of the food chain.

Transparency of Decision making? Where will deliberation take place, will that be published?
Publication of decisions made depends on the subject matter. Mostly all the board meetings are publicly available in Notion. There is also a closed discord that the public can requisition invitation to. Working to add Github as a channel.

What precedent would you like to set for Horizontal communication with other ICC members?
For precedence on horizontal consensus and communication with the ICC members it will depend on the load of the work. Some form of regular check-ins will be important. People love google doc. We also love mirro. Discord works well and is easy to be transparent.

Johnny Kelly

01:29:24 - 01:42:50
Introduction (my light take)
Self thought Cardano node operator. On the governance parameter working group. Also a self appointed Cardano call center for governance stuff.

Johnny doesn’t have his own pool on mainnet but helps enable anyone who wants to run a node but doesn’t have the technical skills…insisting and instructing them on how to hold and protect their own pool keys. ”‘Trust me Bro I swear I don’t have access to my Clients’ Keys 🫢”

The only self-identified “Tech Janitor” in the race.

He ‘randomly’ ended up at the Edinburgh CIP 1964 meeting, seated next to Charles.

Q & A
In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security.
“I run a bunch of stake pools for others already, teaching and helping clients manage the keys to the pool. I have a routine for backup and security already in place. I got this.”

Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual?
It’s a philosophical fomo moment for Johnny. Also, 83% of 56 people said to go for it. Also, because he’s gone down the rabbit hole, he wants to uphold the constitution.

What should happen when you die? What’s your key man risk?.
It’s only one year so the risk is lower. There’s also a dead man switch option. Lots of questions about what should happen. “It’s such a deep question and I have to admit I don’t know the answers but of course we will figure out these things over time.”

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members.
For horizontal communication “online as much as possible. I take care of my mom full time so traveling would be difficult… but for one year, I might happen to travel more if the role requires it.”

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
He will follow the CIP 100 process

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
All or nothing candidate. If not elected Johnny will not join any other group. Do not want to present the optics of a simple power grab.

Joshua Stone

01:43:40 - 02:01:50
Introduction (my light take)
Maybe tasteful shill of book.io and stuff.io (CEO of both ventures). Wants to be “business and commercial voice on the ICC to ensure we have a concrete plan for reaching billions of users.” Service on his city zoning and planning committee.

“One of the great OG for the Cardano ecosystem ”

This is according to Charles. The Atlantic councils and their bucket full of OGs got nothing on you “Josh”!

If there’s a conflict of interest as someone also representing a business, “the most important thing is to be transparent. I will probably abstain. The framework we’re setting up should probably account for that.”

Is it Josh running or book.io… how will he keep the jobs separate?

Q & A
In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security.
“I very much approach things from a business and product strategy will probably have my team help me establish necessary security and make sure I’m the only one with access… keeping as safe as it could be.”

Many of your votes will probably come from your project community. Where does project lead end and ICC member role begins.
Will separate the role of project lead/business owner from ICC membership using compartmentalization and intellectually being able separate roles. Being completely objective, not making ICC decisions based on any commercial applications for book.io.

Will you be willing to publish a state of ethics and recusal, establishing when you will speak as a business owner vs CC member. When will you recuse yourself?
It’s important that these things be established. It will be essential to disseminate that background knowledge.

What’s your opinion on your project or company ultimately filling multiple governance roles? You could be a CC member while your co-founder or someone else at your company could be DReps, and SPOs, etc etc.
It’s probably a mixture of things. On an ongoing basis, it will continue to be. There are individuals that run their own stake pool outside of the book. Might be good for decentralization.

Why did you decide to run as a kinda sorta an individual, while you’re clearly using your company resources as opposed to joining a consortium?
That’s the path “we’re kinda on.” “I just wanted to lend my time and help in any way I can… to bring a view of thinking about scale.” Also don’t want to set the precedent that “Blackrock can run for senate.”

How will you publish your rationals and decisions? What formats and what channels.
Rationals and decisions should be communicated as writeups that’s published regularly… probably as books, as decentralized assets. Definitely push to social channels as well, medium articles, posts.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members
Frequent communication and remote engagement will probably be the thing that makes the most sense to start. It will also be important to meet in a semi regular business to establish a rapport and interact in person.

Kevin Mohr

02:03:40 - 02:16:22
Introduction (my light take)
You can call him a “fed or psyop if you want.” Worked in paralegal for the US Government with last posting being with the NSA.

Currently working to codify the current 1694 into actual legal language with defined rules and articles.

If elected he wants to make sure there are rules and articles, with the actual text of statues as well as a discussion section.

Choosing to run as an independent candidate so intersect is not the only option… concerned if intersect members are sneakingly part of most of the other consortiums running essentially ‘giving intersect too much voice on the committee‘.

I think Charles’ feelings got hurt here…. “Intersect doesn’t tell its members how to vote” retorted–it is a place for other entities and people to go and meet other people and entities in the community. Charles is advocating for all seats to be open for voting come 2025.

Q & A
In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security.
For operational and governance keys security the plan is to put his keys in his will to be passed down to Quasar if he becomes incapacitated or dies.

Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual?
Was too busy in his life to join a consortium but also wanted to run as an indepent to safeguard Cardano from having 4 entities on the committee.

What should happen when you die? What’s your key man risk?
When I die my keys I would like with the catalyst proposal currently working on on-chain estate planning or some kind of dead man switch. Could also set up a multisig wallet with people on the Constitution Committee.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
For horizontal communication with other ICC members, zoom calls work. Procedure will need to be established like how an advance meeting will need to be scheduled for an in person meeting.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
For publishing decisions and bot, Kevin would set up a bot to auto publish to all social media with the root of trust being a subtract of some kind for publishing his thoughts.

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
If not elected, I would be happy to work specifically with Mauro again. Would also be fine with working with any of the other candidates. “They’re all good to me.”

Lloyd Duhon

02:16:50 - 02:35:07 GM Cardano. Lloyd is on the ballot with 30 plus leadership experience in tech. Been in Cardano since 2020. Second cohort plutus pioneer.

Part of DripDrops, Adosia, and Urban Farmer. Went to Longmont and Enburg CIP 1694 workshops.

“My stated goal remains, Let’s make governance boring.”

Oh also, Lloyd’s government is not here to make anyone completely happy.

Winner for the first prepared well rehearsed introduction award goes to Lloyd! Exactly 2 minutes and 45 seconds without a single wasted word or ‘um’ to be found.

Introduction (my light take)
Q & A
**In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security. **
For operation security and handing keys, lloyds has a plan for both physical and operational security. He is something of a “security wonk” and has served as a chief technology officer at companies for many years. He’s a man with a plan and it’s none of our business.

Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? : You’re so well connected and must have been invited to all the consortiums… Why are you running by yourself?
I am often second benched and isn’t necessarily always invited to things. Put that aside, Lloyd is running solo because he’s a “sense maker and storyteller.” The big idea is to set the precedent that individuals CAN run and CAN be suited for the role if done appropriately. He’s here to help set the precedent, document the ins and outs and help prepare the way for the next person.

What should happen when you die? What’s your key man risk?
If Lloyd is hit by a bus as of today he would like to see the outcome handled by the totality of the system… As long as he remains OG for life, his legacy is protected. His keys should be destroyed and the system should handle what happens next.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members
For horizontal communication with ICC members, regular virtual meetings. Would also like to see coalition forms that can then produce combined opinions from the different coalitions, much like the US supreme court. In person meetings are also important. Meeting in person tends to make people nicer to each other so it’s a combination of both and.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
Radical transparency for publishing decisions and rationales. Lloyd will publish sources influencing decisions wherever possible. Will produce decision rationales in writing. Will store rationales on social media and immutable storage (IPFS).

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
If not elected as a CC member, Lloyd is not going anywhere. Intersect is interesting to him. DRep is interesting to him. But but but he cleared his plate and reduced his role at DripDropz and Main Street to spend most of his time filling the CC role, if he is elected.

Other than that, he doesn’t think the DAO members are not ready for prime time. If another individual is elected and not him, he will stay clear of the CC. If no individual is elected, he might consider joining one of the DAO and help make them ready for prime time.

Mauro Agustín Andreoli

02:35:07 - 02:52:00
Introduction (my light take)
Mauro Agustín Andreoli is here to deliver a message from the end of the world, from the bottom–his “candidacy seeks to make a point.

”Doesn’t matter who you have (as long as you have value), you can achieve the same power as the founding entities. You can achieve wonderful things….”

Such as: hold a seat on Cardano’s Constitution Committee.

He’s a youthful voice (reminds us 5 times). Also the only candidate with a theme song!

Comments from Charles (7 mins in) was nothing short of an epic shill. This man knows how to pump our bags!

Mauro is a Cardano ambassador.

If we want to show that Cardano is different then we have to elect Mauro to the ICC.

Questions and Answers
**In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security. **
The man who fixes shoes needs to focus on fixing shoes. Our ICC shoe fixer will rely on security experts for both training and recommendation.

**Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? **
Decided to run solo to show the world that an individual can hold the seat.

What should happen when you die? What’s your key man risk?
If hit by a beer truck, Mauro believes that keys should be destroyed and the constitution should have provisions for what happens next.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
Horizontal communication with other ICC members will depend. If it’s important, meeting in person. If not online is fine.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
Opinions and rationales will be published to all the places. Twitter is hot for crypto. He loves playing professor. Will Syndicate to other platforms.

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
Will not join a group if not elected, wants to show to the world that an individual can hold the seat. It’s all or nothing.

Nicodemus Rodriguez

02:52:07 - 03:09:34
Introduction (my light take)
Copywriter by trade with a bunch of experience in non-crypto related marketing efforts. Have worked with Cornucopias, Fluent Finance, Clarity dao. Member of intersect, DRep on sanchonet, on the Marketing Working group and Governance transparency working group.

“He’s been everywhere, man.”

Nicodemus takes the championship for shortest introduction from Lloyd coming in at 2 mins and 12 seconds.

Q & A
**In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security? **
When it comes to the operation security of the CC potential keys, Nicodemus will rely on technical expertise within the community.

**Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? **
Running as an independent candidate because nobody knows who he is, according to Nicodemus. But as an individual he can move faster and make information flow more freely and slow slugging entities. As an individual he is more able to infiltrate everyone’s community to encourage maximum participation within our ecosystem. There’s no way a group can do this, it’s a job for a single Nicodemus.

What should happen when you die? What’s your key man risk?
When Nicodemus dies or gets hit by a bicycle… he is open to figuring out a solution that works. Hadn’t given too much thought to this before the interview. Dead man switch sounds dope!

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
For horizontal communication and working with other ICC members Nicodemus is ready to bend over backwards to do what needs to be done. “We need to do everything we can to minimize failures and minimize errors.”

Nicodemus will go to the moon and back if needed to facilitate communication… even if that means only 1hr of sleep a day.

For setting precedent Nicodemus thinks we need to just start and see what pattern and sense emerge.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
Love the discord bot idea from before for sending information out to the community. As much information flows to the people who need it as possible.

Abe Ellis

03:11:35 - 03:21:29 Introduction (my light take)
Creator of the recursive Nese token. Plutus pioneer program 1.

Graduated from a convenience store in Plutus/Haskel. Also learned a few programming languages out of a storm drain.

Spent 4 years in active duty in the country–willing to go to war for democracy. Has 10 years of ecommerce experience.

The man is unstoppable.

Q & A
In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security?
For operational security of cryptographic keys, if elected, should go back to the training wheel ICC group in the event of his untimely demise.

**Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? **
Running as a sole candidate because it did not occur to him to run as a group. Group sounds like a committee of a committee. “I feel like I have a specific role to play in the larger system.”

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
For publishing decisions and rationales Abe will draw on his enterprise content marketing experience. Will get a core set of materials, probably a blog post, then proliferate it throughout the rest of the channels. He will also hold a Space Place to talk about it.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
For horizontal collaboration, the man doesn’t have a lot of money. Plus traveling a bunch feels like it would be a distraction. “I haven’t seen anybody fully utilizing zoom for business. Honestly, Zoom is enough.” Abe will also try to build a wallet/zoom integration.

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
Abe will not become a DRep or another role if unelected. “A DRep feels like more responsibility. I would like to give everything I have for a short period, and then go back to coding.”

Ático Mismana

03:21:29 - 03:30:06 Introduction (my light take)
A fellow brazilian as the host, Ático is a nervous non-english speaker that took a lot of courage to present.

Largest SPO in brazil, according to Ático. Also runs “the largest portuguese channel in the space.” The man is on a mission to facilitate adoption for Portuguese speakers.

Q & A
**In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security? **
For keys security if elected, Ático will employ his current spo practice which involves encrypting his keys and using an air gap computer to sign transactions.

**Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? **
Ático chose to run solo because he wants to represent the Portuguese community–the man is not waiting for Rich and his OGs or the Japanese oligarchs to represent Portuguese interests.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
For publishing rationales and decisions Ático will use Twitter, telegram, discord and youtube.

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
For horizontal communication and working with other ICC members Ático will first ask ada holders what they think should happen, and what precedence should be set for horizontal communication.

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
If not elected he intends to run as a DRep for the Portuguese community.

Rich Manderino (EarnCoinPool)

03:30:46 - 03:40:05 Introduction (my light take)
3 years since starting the EarnCoinPool and admin for the xSPO alliance–a coalition of 200 pools that started with teeny delegations that meets weekly to provide marketing or technical help for new SPOs.

The man has spent every epoch furthering the interest of SPOs but asks us to trust him that when it comes to the CC, he will take off his SPO hat and be able to live the new role.

Q & A
In terms of security, how are you going to make sure your keys are protected and your general thoughts on security?
For operational security Rich suggests that we work with IOG and other entities for a baseline for minimum security. Then leave the rest to each person to go above or and beyond for individual security.

**Why did you decide to run as a lonely individual? **
Running as an independent candidate first for that individual touch. A smaller group is easier to work with (I guess working with 200 SPOs has left a stain!). The second reason is community… individuals are more accessible for the community to get hold of and talk to.

Publication of decisions you make… how would you go about that. And what channels would you use?
For publishing thoughts and rationales, a central hub for all ICC members makes sense. A central place where all ICC members can publish their thoughts

Horizontal communication. What kind of precedence would you like to set for communicating and working with the other ICC members?
For horizontal communication, open office hours should definitely be part of the mix—maybe a Twitter space with ICC members that can join (so probably not people in the East, per usual). Would also love to see as much communication and talking as possible, maybe weekly calls and quarterly in person meetings.

If not elected will you be willing to join another group? All or nothing? Or become a DRep.
If not elected to the Constitutional Committee, Rich will absolutely look at other options for getting involved.
