Nature of Conflict of Interest

Personal Relationships, Multiple Roles Within Ecosystem, Personal Benefit from Funding

Details of Conflict of Interest

  • Personal Relationships : I would like to disclose that @iamanansari is my cousin which is a direct conflict of interest to me. He is currently one of the councils in Globe DAO and one of the Aurora community moderators. However this should not affect my decision making but since it’s a major direct conflict of interest, I would abstain and not be involved in any of the report/investigation against Aman Ansari.

  • Multiple roles within ecosystem : Apart from Transparency Commission member, I have community moderator role at Aurora on grants contract basis.

  • Personal Benefit from Funding : I am Co-Lead of Service DAO (Grassroot DAO which needs to be approved by HoM first). Right now I only get rewards for my Admin role in Transparency Commission.

How the Conflict is Being Managed

  • Personal Relationships : Aman has been a part of the Near ecosystem since 2+ years and contributed to several projects, some of them with me. Aman and I are part of Aurora Community Mods Ops for more than a year and it doesn’t change my decision making or work flow. Neither he asked me for a favour nor I did any favour on him till now. Whatever roles he got in the ecosystem are based on his skills, experience and dedication towards the ecosystem. However, I’d like to abstain and not be a part of any complaint/investigation against Aman if it comes in any form.

  • Multiple roles within ecosystem : Since I am a community moderator at Aurora, proposals and reports involving Aurora is in direct conflict of interest to me and I’d like to abstain and avoid being a part of any report.

  • Personal Benefit from Funding : I am Co-Lead of Service DAO (Grassroot DAO which needs to be approved by HoM first). If the DAO gets approved, I’d abstain and avoid being a part of complaints against Service DAO.

P.S. I don’t have any hierarchical power relationships. I share my reports to the community only.

Thank you everyone for the kind support and empowering NEAR Ecosystem!
