Community Oversight Member Elections: Meet the Candidates

[Cosmos_Nanny]

Hey @Damien just some follow up questions to clarify what is and is not in scope re elected member’s duties and responsibilities.

@Damien

What is NOT part of the role and therefore out of scope:

• Under the defined roles within the Oversight Committee, it is understood that all areas of responsibility designated for Oversight Committee #1 (Coordinator) and Oversight Committee #2 (Internal Auditor/Controller) are expressly excluded from the scope of responsibilities for Oversight Member #3.
• Payment processing.
• HR-related topics such as, but not limited to hiring and termination.

@Damien

Meet the applicants

• Matt Brown: Strong background in Crypto and Cosmos with a strong accounting background (CPA certified) which will aid the Financial Controller with money flow. No affiliations with anything within Cosmos so brings a neutral perspective to the Oversight.

Excluded Duties/Responsibilities for #3 Oversight Member

Given that Matt is a CPA, in the event he is elected, makes sense for him to lean in and help Patricia. However, the first bullet point under “What is NOT part of the role and therefore out of scope” reads that “all areas of responsibility designated for…Oversight Committee #2 (Internal Auditor/Controller) are expressly excluded…”

Some clarification is needed here.
Is it an absolute exclusion, or more of a de-facto exclusion from which exceptions can be made, per discretion of Committee Member #1 or #2 (and relevant qualifications of Committee Member #3)?

@Damien

The duties and responsibilities of the community-elected member are as follows:

@Damien

Signing off on grantee payment TXs with best faith (2 out of 3 oversight members).

@Damien

What is NOT part of the role and therefore out of scope:

@Damien

Payment processing.

If Committee Member #3 is signing payment transactions for Grantees, is this not payment processing?

Are you still using CLI for signing?

@Damien

What is NOT part of the role and therefore out of scope:

@Damien

HR-related topics such as, but not limited to hiring and termination.

Finally, I take this to mean that Committee Member #3 is not involved in AADAO’s HR decisions, such as hiring and firing, and therefore does not participate in internal HR deliberations or decision-making. However, this does not preclude Committee Member #3 from remitting substantiated community concerns regarding AADAO’s personnel decisions. Please confirm if my reading here is correct. Thank you!
