There is a truly significant impropriety in this whole council formation process. The DAO community is asked to vote on postulants for a council which would have significant influence over the future of the crypto-project, outstripping the decision-power that was promised to remain available in a decentralized way from VP. But it is not being given _any kind of guarantee_ as to the **true identity** of these postulants. Neither _before_ the vote, which is already rather outrageous, nor _after_ the vote ! This identity is meant to be, at first, “revealed” **only** to the other council members and to the Foundation, not to the DAO community as a whole. The total lack of transparency that the DAO community is expected to accept in this respect is astounding. It does not even appear that _any kind_ of **professional-level interview** will be conducted to assess the qualifications on resumes of the postulants. I have had the opportunity to engage in direct conversation with a number of the applicants, multiple times, in DMs or directly in-world. Thus I feel well-placed to fill-in in this respect. And so I will take it upon myself to bring to the table my professional assessment of these said qualifications.
