Our voting rationale is as follows: **Research** : 100% DefiLlama Research & Castle Capital **Risk** : 100% Nethermind **Security** : 100% OpenZepellin **Supervisory Council** : 49.5% Pedro (Comms), 49.5% James (Comms), 1% Tamara (Ops) We have voted for the above because we believe they are the best fit for the job, have the correct expertise, understand the challenges that the DAO faces and are well placed to carve out solutions. We would like to thank all the applicants for their work and dedication and hope they all stay within the DAO regardless of the outcome of these elections. * * * We will also state the clear COI in our vote for the Research member, to which we are a candidate. We are voting 100% for ourselves in line with the DAO’s Code of Conduct. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/election-application-thread-v2-arbitrum-research-development-collective/27267)._
