Context: This liquid delegation proposal is being submitted following the resignation of a Platform Council member. The exiting council member’s governance NFT has been revoked, and the Telcoin Autonomous Ops (TAO) has temporarily taken over voting responsibilities until the vacancy can be filled through this liquid delegation process. The TAO’s role as a substitute voter ensures that TIPs, which require 100% quorum from the council members and achieve the approval rate threshold of 6/8, can be voted into action while a new representative is being elected via the liquid delegation ceremony.
Per the Liquid Delegation Rules, this proposal is being initiated to elect a new Council Member to represent the Developers Miner Group. As the seat is available, the previous member won’t be included in the subsequent snapshot vote by default.
