[NXT] Community nominations to the funding comittee

[utopianfuture]

This is the third thread on the issue of making decisions regarding NXT common fund following the first poll on the decision to form a funding committee to control the NXT common fund of unclaimed coin here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418695.0 and the second poll on the basic working principle of the funding committee here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423241.0

At this point, I think it is time to start the nomination process for the funding committee working on basics of the principle lay out in the second poll.

Disclaimer: I have been suggested to be in the committee before but at this point I would respectably decline that honor due to other personal commitment.

I suppose that if any nomination have a reason that he/ she can't be involved in the committee would also publicly decline that honor. After all the the nominations are collected, we can move to the next step of the actual voting for members on the committee. This could be discussed in details later but I hope no one objects a simple process of writing down the nominations if you want to be in the funding committee in this thread. Voting later could be for 5-9 committee members and 2-3 alternates.      

I would start by the nomination process by listing here some of my favorite people and also some people who have been suggested before, not in particular order. All nicks are bitcointalk accounts unless specified otherwise. Let's the thread run for at least a few days.

- come_from_beyond : decline

- Joefox
- rickyjames
- salsacz-
- Nifty    (nextcoin forum)
- Anon136

Good list.

Should we also vote on the number of people in the committee?

[utopianfuture]

What do you think 7 or 9 ? we would also need some alternates.

I would say seven.
That means less talk and more action.
All on the list are trusted. As a committee they'd balance each other anyway.
If they can't decide thén they go back to the community, but only as a total last resort.

I also would prefer if they weren't under a constant need to justify their expenses in the short term.
Most of the things they need to do is long term, so let's give them trust and take a longer view than the one, two week one that has sometimes been seen. 

[bitcoinpaul]

I thought of 5 people. But we can vote on that

[abuelau]

+1.

Finding out the personalities based off Jung's functions would put their pros and cons to balance.

I highly recommend the following web links to get a quick understanding:

It maybe optimal to utilize as many of the 8 functions as possible: Example; NeFi, SeFi, TeSi, FeNi hold all 8 functions to the highest two levels of either Dominant or Subordinate. Even with the other four variations of this pattern they'd still see the world in totally different ways, which allows them to encompass a wide margin of techniques for great results.

You discouraged a lot of people with your post, I suppose 

Guys and Gals, just post the people you want to nominate for the committee!

[salsacz]

Damelon, Allwelder, Uniqueorn, VanBreuk, EvilDave

[Come-from-Beyond]

Remove me, plz.

Damelon, Allwelder, Uniqueorn, VanBreuk, EvilDave

It's an honour, but I have 2 reasons to (almost) say no:

I've got a lot of real life commitments, NXT is eating up a lot of my free(ish) time.

I want to get a carbon-offset project set up, this will mean that I will want to have access to/control of quite a lot of NXT, and If i'm on the committee that decides to give me the money for my own pet project....hmmmm.

Having said all that, I'll accept a committee place if we really can't find anyone else willing to step up.

TL:DR:
EvilDave to the very bottom of the list, please.

I appreciate (and am surprised by) the fact you brought up my name while picking in a pool full of world class talented people. I do have experience in online communities management, some age and a few burns from politics, but I cannot bring technical expertise... I'm no developer, no cryptographer, no economist. Unneeded for Nxt fund management? I'm not so sure.

My five picks:

rickyjames, Klee, jl777, Anon136, joefox,

with Damelon and salsacz in the bench.

Why nobody mentioned bitcoinpaul?

This brings up the issue of technical fund vs marketing fund.
Clearly we need experts of tech to control the technical fund and those who are good at marketing to manage the marketing funds.
