Hi @DedHeadJ. I completely understand and respect your decision. Thank you for considering me.

Hi @ChronoT.AeonSmash, I am only voting Abstain because I voted YES for 5 and 1 spare that I have had more interaction with and understand their skill sets better than yours. I am sure you would be an asset should they decide to expand the committee in the future. All the best, Jenn

ChronoT has always been passionate about building, learning how things work, and helping people! Proof is his Youtube tutorial series called Decentraland Demystified. A big thank to you! The wildcat game, the unique roller-coaster were proof of his dedication to the betterment of Decentraland as a platform for users to enjoy. A yes from me!

**Application continued in comments...** :mountain: **Immediate Challenges and Thoughts** :mountain: Decentraland stands as a beacon of innovation in the Web3 landscape, embodying the transformative potential of decentralization. However, its continued success hinges on our ability to navigate critical governance challenges, limited funding, growing competition, and the need to sustain user engagement. The release of Client 2.0 brought significant improvements, including enhanced performance, immersive environments, badges, daily quests, mini-games, improved avatars, and the Creator Hub. While these updates are exciting, the release also introduced several bugs that are actively being addressed by an amazingly talented and dedicated team, including Eldanak, Stévame, Vitsky, Kaze and others. Unfortunately, these bugs have caused some features that previously worked on user-owned Land to either function poorly or not work at all. For instance, my 2D snake game works perfectly in Client 1.0 but does not function in 2.0. Similarly, while users could ride my roller coaster without issues in Client 1.0, most people experience problems in 2.0. In addition, the proposal to establish a Council has faced opposition because many believe it would centralize power and diminish the role of voting power. As I understand, critics believe that giving significant authority to this Council would undermine Decentraland’s principles of decentralization and autonomy. They also highlight concerns about the need to trust the Council and the potential risk of a Sybil attack if the system is exploited. I believe I understand the general concerns surrounding the formation of a Council. After careful consideration, I think a temporary Council could bring focused progress, conserve resources, and streamline processes in our fast-paced environment. Ultimately, whether the Council proves itself to be beneficial or harmful will depend on how it is implemented and the intentions of its members. :memo: **Cover Letter** :memo: Dear Decentraland Community and Friends, When I started writing this application, only a handful of submissions had been made. Since then, I’ve seen many applications from individuals with impressive expertise in all the relevant fields. I’ve also read and reflected on the concerns surrounding the formation of this Council. Rather than using this opportunity to promote myself, I want to be transparent: I genuinely want what’s best for Decentraland, and I’m not certain if I am the best candidate for this role. However, I am deeply passionate about this project. Decentraland is a space where artists and dreamers can bring their imagination to life and share their creativity with the world, and that vision truly inspires me. In terms of potentially serving on this Council, I feel as a scientist, I bring analytical rigor and problem-solving skills. As a creator, I have honed a deep understanding of storytelling and user experience design. As a user, and founding member of the WonderWall Crew, I understand the communal and therapeutic value of Decentraland for users, especially those navigating personal challenges like health issues or social development. My leadership experience in academia and the Web3 space has further sharpened my ability to collaborate, integrate diverse perspectives, and work toward shared goals. I am passionate about empowering creators, fostering innovation, and building inclusive communities. I am committed to helping Decentraland achieve its immense potential and demonstrating that decentralization is not only viable but a natural evolution of our technological future. I submit my application to the Decentraland DAO Council with gratitude and humility. This community has shown me the power of collaboration, creativity, and resilience. Together, we can build an inclusive and innovative ecosystem that sets new benchmarks for what is possible in the metaverse. I look forward to the opportunity to help shape Decentraland’s future, ensuring it becomes a thriving hub of creativity and a shining example of decentralized innovation.
