We vote for the candidates as below. We prioritize their relevant experience and Arbitrum specific knowledge for our selections.

### New Protocols and Ideas

**Saurabh (+ Shogun) 33%, Euphoria 33%, CastleCapital 33%**

It was very challenging to choose the candidates as all of them have compelling applications. We chose @Saurabh as they have the most relevant experience as a grants program manager and Shogun’s help would be a big bonus. We chose @Euphoria and @CastleCapital as they are extensively experienced in Arbitrum programs and equipped with strong analytical skills.

### Education, Community Growth, and Events

**SEEDGov 100%**

@SEEDGov has been a critical service provider, delegate and active contributor to the DAO space in general. Their extensive experience in the educational space, passion in growing the LATAM community and contributions to the Arbitrum ecosystem are second to none.

### Dev Tooling on One and Stylus

**Juandi 80%, andreiv 20%**

We value @Juandi’s past experience as a domain allocator for the Developer Tooling domain, which is quite relevant to this role. However, we acknowledge the experience and expertises that @andreiv can deliver and split some portion of our VP into him.

### Gaming

**Flook 100%**

Both of the candidates are very much qualified, but we value Nikki’s diverse experience including Web2 creator space and marketing skill and Adam’s experience as a gaming studio founder more for this particular role and vote for @Flook.
