thank you @amir for putting together the proposal and a few nominees. I’d like to add that we should vote on each nominee separately through Snapshot, since the individuals are independent and it would make things easier if some are passed or not.

I also want to nominate myself and Jefferson Tang for this committee. Him and I both have been working on Solace v2 protocol technical design together, and overall across the whole range of tasks for Solace. Jeff is an experienced full stack developer, launched many Solace products in the past and is a technical lead for Holdr (https://holdr.fi/), so he can make sure any technical updates and tx’s to the Solace protocol are sound. My background, on the other hand, is well-known by the community, so I’ll spare the time unless asked for. Either way, I’m very energized to continue pushing and delivering on the vision for decentralized coverage products to see DeFi scale into wider risk-aware userbase.

Howdy all! Thanks for the nomination @amir. I’d be happy to contribute to the Solace project as a trusted member of the signing group for the mulitsig wallet. As a signer, I always review the contents of the messages requiring signatures and not just blindly sign. Looking forward to working more with Solace.
