I went through all applications and gave each candidate a 1-10 score (which was then automatically translated into percentages). Because the vote is shielded, I will reveal my choices after the election is over, so that I don’t impact how other people vote.
EDIT (after voting ended):
I’ve read through all applications and graded candidates with a score 1-10 based on my subjective opinion. The reason I did that instead of just choosing one or two candidates is that I believe all candidates bring something valuable to the table, which is why I prefer proportional voting instead of “winner-takes-all” approach.
Here is my vote reveal:
Supervisory Council Election: 12.24% for Frisson (Comm Role), 14.29% for JuanRah + AlexLumley (Comm Role), 14.29% for Jameskbh (Comm Role), 16.33% for Entropy Adv. + Tamara (Op Role) , 14.29% for Pedro Breuer (Comm Role) , 12.24% for Violet Benson (Comm Role) , 16.33% for ZER8 (Comm Role).
Research Election: 17.07% for Revelo Intel, 17.07% for PYOR Research, 19.51% for The Block Research, 21.95% for Llama Research & Castle Capital, 24.39% for Blockworks Advisory.
Risk Election: 20.51% for Vending Machine, 23.08% for TAU Labs, 15.38% for Jupiter Block, 17.95% for DeFiSafety, 23.08% for Nethermind.
In the Security Election I decided to give 100% of my vote to one candidate, OpenZeppelin, because of its lengthy presence in the crypto world; commitment to open source development via smart contract templates, which increase overall security in the space (and they do it free of charge); extensive experience in auditing; and last but not least, their past work and experience as Security Member of the ARDC.
