Delegate Statement

ENS name: brantly.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I am passionate about ENS, have been on the core ENS team for almost three years, and now would like to contribute to DAO governance.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right:

Agree. This is a core advantage that a blockchain-based naming system has over traditional DNS (in which self-custody of a name isn't possible due to its technical architecture)

  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism:

Agree. Fees exist to help the namespace by regulating it and should not be used for short-sighted value extraction.

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods:

Agree. The treasury should be re-invested firstly into development, maintenance, and promotion of ENS itself; secondly into the ENS ecosystem (by which I mean projects that are building tools and service for ENS specifically, not just projects that use ENS); and only after both of those things are well funded start looking outside to other web3 public goods

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace:

Agree. This is absolutely critical, for the good of users and the long-term viability of the ENS project. Yes, it might seem nice to add more TLDs in the short-term, but we'd be creating unnecessary problems in the long-term.

My web3 qualifications / skills: I have been involved in one way or another in crypto since early 2013 and I've been a member of the core ENS team since January 2019.

Extra note: While I'd be happy to be your delegate, I also strongly encourage people to consider delegating to other competent people, of which there are many!
