Another quick update: our final three candidates (in no particular order) are Paulo, Eugene, and Angela. Each has posted a forum thread sharing more about themselves, their background and policy stance, and their qualifications for the role: - [Paulo Fonseca's application to the House of Stake Head of Governance role](https://gov.near.org/t/paulo-fonsecas-application-to-the-house-of-stake-head-of-governance-role/41550) - [Eugene Leventhal - applying for the Head of Gov role](https://gov.near.org/t/eugene-leventhal-applying-for-the-head-of-gov-role/41602) - [Angela Kreitenweis - applying for the Head of Gov role](https://gov.near.org/t/angela-kreitenweis-applying-for-the-head-of-gov-role/41608) We also shared a set of questions that we’ve asked each candidate to reply to this week in written form: > [@Questions for Head of Governance Candidates](https://gov.near.org/t/questions-for-head-of-governance-candidates/41653): > > Hello, Here is the set of questions that we’re asking all of the final Head of Governance candidates to respond to. I’ve asked them to submit their answers to me initially, so that they don’t bias one another’s answers. Once I’ve received all of the answers, I’ll post them all together here. Community members are welcome to review and respond to these responses, here or on the AMA that we’re planning with all of the finalists late next week. The candidates have one week, until 23:59 New York t… We intend to hold an open AMA call with all of the candidates later this week (@fiatisabubble can provide details) to give the community the opportunity to meet the candidates, hear from them, ask them questions, etc. Finally, a hiring committee at NEAR Foundation will review all of this information and make a final decision next week. There may be a few days of final discussion and negotiation with the candidates before the new Head of Governance is announced, but with luck I hope to be able to make this announcement by the end of next week.
