Hi everyone! None of the OAT members could join the call today, and I saw there were some questions about our work, which I’ll address below: **Is the recruitment process started?** Yes, we’ve been interviewing candidates for the OpCo Foundation Lead (Chief of Chaos Coordinator) for a few weeks now. **Which platform are they using to screen candidates so I can refer good candidates to apply for? Or are they using a recruitment agency?** We’re not using any platform or agency at the moment. Right now, we’re focused on hiring the OpCo Foundation Lead, a role we see as essential so that person can also be involved in the next hiring rounds. That said, anyone interested in being part of the OpCo can reach out to me directly or to any OAT member to express their interest. **And I guess OAT is completed now with all 5 members if I’m not wrong:** Correct, the OAT is now complete with all 5 members actively serving. ---
