AADAO Community Oversight Member Elections
AADAO Oversight Elections Update: 24/02: Applications are now closed! Hello Cosmonauts, As part of our desire to be more aligned with the Cosmos Hub Community, we at AADAO are happy to open up the elections for the Third Oversight Member to join the Oversight Committee. Please note that this election process is still in an experimentation phase so delays or issues may occur along the way. Thank you. The post below will explain everything from what the role is and what is expected, what is NOT part of the role, how to apply, and the next steps after applying. What is the Oversight Committee? Reporting directly to Cosmos Hub public governance, the Oversight Committee works across all AADAO Committees, ensuring compliance and integrity. It has the authority to VETO new grants, discontinue existing grants, and initiate the termination of any Contributors within AADAO in case of serious misconduct. The Oversight Committee is a team of 2 within AADAO whose main role is to ensure all AADAO members act in the best interests of the ATOM community. It also acts as a counter-power to the Strategy Committee in a classic check and balance system. The Oversight responsibilities…

@Damien thanks for sharing.
Can you make explicitly clear the minimum time commitment? Is the 3rd Oversight Member role a PT or FT position?
Can you also offer estimated compensation, and whether pay might be negotiable depending on experience?
There are several community members interested but they remain unclear on the time commitment being asked for.
Re: Role of Community Elected Member – are any of stipulated or excluded duties negotiable with the community?
For instance, what is the rationale for excluding 3rd member’s involvement in HR processes (specifically, hiring and firing)?
AADAO hires have been a serious point of contention with community due to lack of visibility of process. To exclude 3rd oversight member from expressing a community informed voice in these processes seems counter productive to the essential “sanity check” and liaison functions.
As per [LAST CALL ] Funding ATOM Accelerator DAO for 2024
Which compensation bracket is applicable for 3rd Oversight Member role?
- Review Committee Member
- Administrative Member
Thanks to Grace for raising these questions. I am considering applying, but as someone who’s already employed full-time, I’m trying to determine if I have the time available for it.
Thanks for your very valid questions! Allow me to reply to them! Cosmos_Nanny: Can you make explicitly clear the minimum time commitment? Is the 3rd Oversight Member role a PT or FT position? This role would be a PT role (up to 35% FTE). Cosmos_Nanny: Can you also offer estimated compensation, and whether pay might be negotiable depending on experience? Looking at the Funding proposal of the AADAO, the Oversight Committee was allocated a certain amount: [Proposal #865] [ACCEPTED] Funding ATOM Accelerator DAO for 2024 Oversight Committee salaries 132,000 Based on the composition of the team (3 members with community elected member), and based on the hours, the bracket for compensation would be $45 - $65 per hour. Cosmos_Nanny: For instance, what is the rationale for excluding 3rd member’s involvement in HR processes (specifically, hiring and firing)? The intention is not to exclude the 3rd member of the Oversight, but rather to clarify that their role overlaps with another Oversight member’s responsibilities and, therefore, to prevent redundancy this is not included in the role of this community elected…

This is a PT role with a max. 35% FTE hours.
Good to know. I was thinking anything more than 20 would be too much for me. Thanks.
Thank you for the prompt reply, Damien.
Hi Damien,
Just sending you a message here to let you know that I have submitted my application for this position.
Take Care,

Damien:The first step for the applicants would be to send an email to [email protected] with their names, social media handles, and CVs. Once an applicant sends an email to the Oversight email address, they will receive confirmation of their application with further instructions.
We applied but received no confirmation. As today is the deadline for submissions, we’re wondering if things are doing OK !
Hello @Govmos,
We have received all applicant’s emails and ask for all to remain patient for the next steps.
We will extend the application process by a few more days since we recently released a public reminder for applications.
Thanks for your patience.
Applications have now closed. Applicants who applied have been asked to book a slot for an Interview with the Oversight Team of the AADAO. The purpose of the Interview is to give each applicant a fair shot when it comes to expressing why they believe they are well suited for the role. The Interviewers will take down notes from the Interviews and present them to the rest of the AADAO who will then rank the applications based on the information supplied. The Internal Elections (slated for next week after all interviews are conducted) will work as follows: • A spreadsheet will be created with all the relevant information to make informed decisions • Each AADAO member will select their top 3 Applications and rank them as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. • Ranking is based on a points system • 1st = 3 Points • 2nd = 2 Points • 3rd = 1 Point • After all AADAO members vote, a total tally will be calculated and then the overall Top 3 in ranking based on points will be those who will move on to the next stage of the elections which is the public phase. The public phase will consist of the applicants showcasing why they think they should be the chosen member (through an initial…
