Is the intent for Ackee, the organization, to stand as the candidate for the security council? Could I possibly sway you to stand an individual representative from Ackee as the candidate, instead?

I ask because the DAO Constitution as it is written seems to, by my interpretation, allow for “members” as in single individuals, but not organizations.

I would also feel more comfortable voting for an identifiable individual, even if under only an established pseudonym, than I would an organization whom I have no real insight into and which may shift in makeup at any time.

To avoid distracting this thread away from Ackee on the broader topic of the DAO Constitution, I’ve created a separate post to elaborating on the interpretation specifically in the submission announcement thread.

March 2025 Contender Submission Phase - #3 by Arbitrum as mentioned here, it would be good if Ackee could specify its representative for the Security Council elections.

To confirm, you can still apply as an organization, as long as you are represented by an individual (i.e. your CEO).
