Election Process
This thread will stay open for 7 days for nominations.
After 7 days, the nomination period closes. If there are not 4+ applicants, this thread will remain open until 4+ nominations are received.
A new post will be created for voting on our Discourse site. Voting will last for 7 days. DAO members will be allowed to vote for 4 candidates.
The 4 applicants with the most votes are submitted to the DAO for approval via a snapshot vote, voting lasts for 7 days and quorum is 20%+ of PHONON (from circulating supply).
If the vote passes, new multisig wallet holders are added.
If the vote fails, PDBG gets feedback from the DAO and ensures the feedback is disseminated. The election process takes place again. Anyone is free to reuse an existing application and the existing multisig wallet holders remain until new holders are elected.

I solemny swear my utter distrust in controlled and oversighted systems which serve the goal to silence the free will of mankind. I believe our work here serves the higher goal to provide one of the corner stones that will give back to humanity the responsability to handle their own life. I may not be your blockchain specialist from day one, I wish I was but my eyes didn’t open at that time. Nevertheless I’m working to provide the ultimate perfect secrecy proof that quantum communication gives and I aim to give my will and skills to diversify and further Phonon’s goals. Being part of the cybersec community I eventually got my hands into crypto, diving deeper I ended up knowing about Phonon and couldn’t believe how I didn’t think of this system myself.
Today I want to bring my stone to this building, which will be part of history. Together we’ll build a world for everyone to live in if they wish to. We will pave the way for the next generation to strive on. This is our chance, let’s take it together.

Reason for applying: I am an active contributor and governance participant in multiple DeFi projects. I have also been involved in the crypto space since 2015. Although I only just found Phonon recently, it is a project that I have been waiting for for a long time. And I believe it deserves attention and trustworthy members for it to reach its potential.
Describe your involvement thus far in the Phonon DAO: Up to this point I may just be known as the person asking silly questions… But, I’m catching up quickly and actively learning as much as I can. I’d like to increase the quality and frequency of my contribution and engagement and bring a practical voice to the project.
Qualifications - What will you bring to the multisig group? Active member, willing and available to communicate, and able to think independently for any signature request worth consideration. I may be a conspiracy theorist but I have no intention of conspiring myself. Central Standard Time.
