New year, new council, new governance style
As you might already know, at the end of December 2021 the Thales community voted with their staked THALES to choose a new Thales Council (aka the seven sages) as a representative advisory body. This Council is currently composed of:
- cyberduck
- padzank | Thales
- Yannis | Synthetix
- MrBreakout
- Orilla | Thales
- Red | Thales
- BigPlutus (BigPenny)
One of the first things enacted by the new council was to encourage the engagement of the community (the mighty Titans!) into the discussion and decision process of TIPs (Thales Improvement Proposals) and related governance matters.
For this same reason, it was decided to hold the first Thales Council governance call in our Discord on January 11th at 4:30PM UTC.
The community response to this was great with many people engaging, giving their takes, and overall supporting with great ideas.
So… what was discussed on the call?
