September 6th will mark exactly one year since we took our seat on Cardano’s Constitutional Committee. Since then, we have participated in 100% of all eligible governance actions. We would like to continue serving for another year, as we were elected to do, without interruptions.

For that to happen, the ongoing CC election needs to reach the required thresholds. If it doesn’t, governance will halt. The Committee itself will continue to exist, but without a valid Committee in place, there will be nothing for it to do.

So, DReps and SPOs, please vote, and do so this epoch. If you support continuity and want us to continue serving, we need your vote to reach the thresholds. Don’t let Cardano governance grind to a halt.

If you read one thing this week, make it this. Much of the work that keeps the ecosystem moving happens behind the scenes.

Message to DReps: yes, its a call for votes! 🙃 On Ekklesia now - Your votes are needed to identify the 4 candidates you’d most like to see progress to the upcoming Constitutional Committee governance action. intersect.ekklesia.vote/ Consider: each candidate’s understanding of the Constitution, ability to assess actions impartially against it, and their readiness to fulfil the responsibilities of the role. Ask questions. Review candidates, and Cast your votes - you have FOUR so USE THEM Thank you 🫡

The Constitutional Committee election currently has five candidates competing for four seats. Which means we're exactly at the point where someone will experience the revolutionary concept of "not getting elected." Progress. But honestly, five candidates for four seats in an ecosystem worth billions is still a little wild. We've got thousands of people willing to explain on X why everyone else is doing governance wrong. We've got hundreds willing to write 47-post threads about governance. We've got dozens willing to spend four hours arguing over a comma in the Constitution. Yet somehow only five people have decided to put their own name on the ballot. Curious. If you've ever spent an evening rage-reading a governance action, muttered "who approved this?" at your screen, or written a comment beginning with "with all due respect..." before proceeding to show absolutely none, you may already be qualified. The CC isn't a secret society of governance demigods. It's mostly reading documents, applying the Constitution, and discovering new and exciting ways humans can interpret the same sentence completely differently. So if you've been waiting until you feel 100% qualified, stop. Half of governance is people figuring things out as they go. The other half is pretending they aren't. Apply. Best case: you help safeguard the Constitution. Worst case: you lose an election and immediately become qualified to spend the next year explaining how the election should have been run. hydra-voting.intersectmbo.or…

CC should not become an isolated circle of familiar faces. We need DReps, lawyers, SPOs, nerds, critics, and people willing to challenge consensus when it matters. If you care about the Constitution and Cardano governance, consider running for CC. hydra-voting.intersectmbo.or…

We are in a high-activity period for governance actions. This isn’t something we do lightly, but CC is unpaid and time is limited. For now we’re simplifying how we assess positions to keep pace. We’ll use the same approach during future spikes.
