Steward Council Elections:
Over the next two weeks we are working through nominations for the Gitcoin Steward Council. To date, we have easily three times as many potential nominees this round vs. the prior round and this is a great signal in relation to the diversity of candidates on the draft list of candidates. The downside is informing and confirming with each of all these candidates is consuming a lot of time and most of the other governance efforts will likely be on hold until the list is locked down. Regardless, this is a happy problem as we are expecting great things for our next cohort.
Here is the baseline plan and will post here if it changes.
