In addition to supporting the reconformation of both John Kennedy and Tim Chang last week, Entropy split its vote for the remaining three AGV Council seats in the following manner:
- 50% for David Bolger
- 20% for Greg Canessa
- 20% for Chris Cameron (PaperImperium)
- 5% for Coinflip
- 5% for JoJo
Overall, we believed it was prudent to have a level of continuity and proven expertise on the council, which influenced our decision to support the reconfirmations as well as Greg and David in this election. We are not necessarily against the hybrid approach that the AGV took, as it is important to have a well-rounded council, but it would have been helpful to have more rationale for why John and Tim were nominated as the two to be reconfirmed. For future elections, Entropy hopes to see a more diverse set of candidates apply in terms of the core competencies outlined, as this election was largely limited to those with expertise in DAO governance & policy.
As the Head of Gaming and Consumer Partnerships at OCL, we felt it was most important to have David on the AGV council once again to bolster cross-AAE communication and someone with deep insight into the broader Arbitrum partnerships pipeline. Given Greg’s previous experience in the gaming industry and focus on operations, we also felt it was important for him to remain on the council to ensure a diverse set of core competencies. While Entropy viewed both JoJo and Coinflip as more than qualified candidates that we would be happy to see elected, our team decided that introducing a fresh perspective to the AGV council was important. As previously expressed, our team is concerned that the current structure of the AGV council creates the incentive to keep the AGV continuing regardless of performance. Paper brings a unique financial skillset to the council as he is familiar with crypto concepts as well as traditional fund structures. Additionally, Entropy is aligned with his perspective on expanding the mandate of the AGV. After speaking with Paper directly, we trusted that if elected, he would approach the role and relationship with the AGV in a constructive manner despite historically being critical of the entity.
