Patrick Bennet’s name is spelled as Paul in his bio on governance website.
also the bio gives an impression as if he’s an outsourced fiverr and not a co-founder of txlab

my surname is also wrongly spelled - it doesn’t play a major role tbh so no need to remedy, just pointing it out for clarity sake :slight_smile:

current: BERLINGAR correct: BELINGAR

Thanks for pointing the name error @HMP, our reviewers didn’t catch it. Unfortunately, I cannot change it during a live vote session.

@Adri My name is Lipovszki, it is mis-spelled as Lipoviski

46% of the votes were “No” up to this point – I’m really surprised that so many know me well enough to oppose! I ask those who voted “No” without strong reasons, please reconsider switching to “abstain”.

This is one of the downsides of the current Yes-No-Abstain voting style. The weight of casting a “No” vote varies greatly from person to person. Some may vote “No” simply to indicate it’s not a “Yes,” while others may mean it as a strong rejection. However, from the perspective of those receiving the results—especially those familiar with the rules—all “No” votes tend to be interpreted the same way, often as a strong and intentional opposition. Even candidates who applied to the Council with good intentions may end up feeling harshly rejected by the community.

I’m also a candidate myself, but I would advise you not to take the “No” votes too seriously. It’s best to interpret them as a relative evaluation specific to this role—not as a personal judgment.

Patrick’s name has been corrected. Patrick’s summary was written based on the information provided in his application on github.

I’ve fixed your name @Maugli. Apologies for that.

Fixed your name too @simonb. Apologies for the mistake.

So glad that you could change it change it during a live vote session after all.
Don’t understand the last statement, is it any different from other candidates?

No worries.
Yes, every candidate provided info on their application, which was used to create a summary paragraph for the governance portal.

Due to a major wave of votes mid-session, two candidates have shifted around the cutoff line.
Will things settle here, or will there be more changes? One to watch closely.
Current voter turnout: 81%.

Great turnout, all things considered, and a great lineup of xGovs. I was quite happy to participate, and pleased with the results overall. I’d call that a milestone achieved :slight_smile:
