@illia, I hope you don’t mind me sharing this candidly. I wanted to kindly ask if you could refrain from commenting on proposals for now.
Because of your significant influence within NF — and the fact that many processes and decisions inside the Foundation naturally revolve around you — even a casual comment from you is often perceived as a signal or call to action by delegates or by teams that work with (or receive grants from) NF.
As a result, what may be intended as a personal opinion can unintentionally shape outcomes or create pressure, making it harder to maintain open and independent discussion.
You have already shown great leadership and neutrality during the NDC elections when you chose not to vote or comment in order to avoid influencing the result — and the community truly respected that decision.
This is especially important now, considering that the pre-screening of proposals - Screering Commitee is fully controlled by NF and NF contractors.
Here is the proposal to move toward an elected Screening Committee, in line with the HoS transition plan:
Once we have a larger number of truly independent (non-NF) delegates and decentralized Screnning Commitee, your open commentary will no longer create such an imbalance — but at this stage, the ecosystem is still too dependent on your voice.
Thank you for understanding.
