Statement of Intention

I did not sign up as a Steward from the start because I was on the Gitcoin Holdings team when the token was launched. I was the first person to leave the core team to work exclusively on the DAO and be paid only by the DAO.

After 2 full seasons leading the Fraud Detection & Defense workstream, we now have the FDD-OS v1.0 which has a purpose of removing the workstream lead role from existing. During season 13 I will still maintain a veto right over our new source council. My intention is to let go completely before Season 15.

During the next couple of seasons, I will be participating and paid like any other FDD Source Council member. As we move towards my removal, I will use veto power and authority sparingly. I intend to equip the workstream with a clear essential intent aligning them with the rest of Gitcoin. I intend to leave them with good processes and cadence for synchronizing behind their process and knowing when to change the process itself.

When I am no longer the FDD workstream lead, I intend to remain a source council member for at least a couple more seasons. I intend to lead a few squads which can grow into their own workstreams. I also intend to participate across the DAO in other workstreams with some of the time I will have freed from the FDD responsibilities.

This is my why:
