ENS name: philh.p2p.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
ENS truly embodies the concept of cyber-commons. For the past 7 years, I’ve been consistently working towards synergies between P2P commons and the Web3 space. I’d be honored to dedicate time to the governance of the ENS DAO.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

• Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  I do agree.
  This is the raison d’être of ENS in the first place: replacing the rent-extracting, arbitrary powers of Web2 and legacy internet infrastructure with credibly neutral and inclusive alternatives.

• Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  I do agree.
  Relying on a sound economic model is a fundamental requirement for any cyber-commons. I hope that the DAO’s governance using on a broad distribution of the ENS token will make this self-limitation provision actually useless.

• Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  I do agree.
  Given the volatility of crypto-assets and the experience we have with past token sales that endowed projects with unexpectedly massive treasuries, I strongly support this commitment of using any surplus for supporting other public goods.

• ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  I do agree.
  Ultimately, integrating with the legacy DNS system is the condition for gaining the old system onboarded to the cause of transparent and inclusive governance.

My web3 qualifications / skills:
I’ve been involved in DAOs and cyber-commons since 2015. I co-founded, contributed to, advised, donated to, invested in and published articles about many projects in the space. I’m currently a member of dOrg, a DAO-run collective, an organizer of EthCC and P2P Festival, a member of the Commons Stack hatch, a board member at Ethereum France, and a contributor/advisor to Polywrap, Mangrove, Spool, and Morpho projects.
