I voted 1/3 for David Bolger, 1/3 for Coinflip, and 1/3 for myself.
I do like what the previous council have achieved over time, despite thinking there is more to do. What most in my opinion fail to understand is that what is conceived as a general underperformance of AGV compared to other AAEs is due to 1) being the first entity created by the DAO 2) coming from a period in which we had a different perception on spending 3) tapping into a vertical that is as of today a contrarian bet.
Beside the election feedback itself, I would also like to take a moment to post a very personal reflection.
I donāt typically publicly share my voting reasoning, but felt appropriate here.
Iāve distributed my votes equally between David Bolger, Greg Canessa, and Jojo. While Iām very much hoping to continue representing the DAO in this capacity, I didnāt feel comfortable using significant voting power to vote for a single candidate or for myself, even though itās permitted. Others may and thatās there choice.
The voting structure has limitations. We want diverse oversight skills for these programs, but we canāt predict the final composition. Given these constraints, Iāve placed my votes with the candidates outside of myself Iām most confident will Effectively represent and advocate for both the DAO and program success.

#Arbitrum Everywhere
As Coinflip stated here everybody can use their voting power as they best see fit, accordingly to the code of conduct. We have had, in this and other elections, people voting for themself only, people voting for themself and others, people voting only for others or people abstaining by voting for all candidates.
That said, there is a consideration to be made for an approach that overarchingly puts the DAO first.
Regardless of the specificity of this vote, what we are seeing here is in my opinion an example of this behaviour. At the risk of sounding over the line or even sentimental, being preserving toward the DAO as a delegate, and graceful as a human being, is something that, due to both internal and external factors, as well as overall context, we are losing a bit over time in Arbitrum, and we should collectively strive to regain.
Thanks for this vote and this rationale.
