Some context around current members (updated from the 6 month review) ![image](https://dao.rocketpool.net/uploads/default/original/1X/5359f1e0652ebdc80831a45d4d5b22c1912a9659.png) This obviously doesn’t include everything, but it’s better than nothing - feel free to ask questions about current members and I’m sure folks are happy to answer. ---

I would like to nominate myself @langers @Uisce @DaserDog @Denum.eth and @jasperthegovghost Marceau explicitly asked to be removed when convenient a bit ago. I would like to have Darcius as a backup signer instead of a mainline member, which is in line of how he’s served us so far. ---

I nominate: @knoshua - Instrumental in getting our liquidity incentive program off the ground, engages frequently in incentive discussions and has a high level of understanding of dex functionality. @NonFungibleYokem - For being generally knowledgeable & critical thinking. @halzen627 - Has been less active recently so unsure of their availability but the OP grant proposal they spearheaded has been of key importance to rETH’s L2 presence. @Danylostefan - Has had success reaching out and working with other DAOs on behalf of RP (Rook) and notably long term aligned. ---

Thanks for the nomination @Uisce. You’re right, I have had less time to dedicate to crypto stuff due to IRL commitments, and this will probably continue going forward. I am supportive of the other nominations in this thread. If we need to make up numbers I could accept as a less active member, otherwise I would suggest electing others who are confident they will be more actively engaged. Great work to all on the IMC who have done a great job so far. ---

Thanks for the nomination @Uisce. I must respectfully decline as this would pose a conflict of interests for me. I am happy to continue my efforts just not in any official or quasi-official capacity. ---

@phils.eth on discord asked for a description of the work and workload in the IMC. Before I answer, I’d like to nominate them - caring is half the battle here. * * * Here’s what I’d like to see… - **Minimum bar** ; sign transactions after reviewing them (see an example at [https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/1020537769635872808/1076187165496725668](https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/1020537769635872808/1076187165496725668)) - **Desired** - **Yay!** ; help out by doing something extra: ---

# Alignment Statement Both philosophically and economically, I am aligned with Rocket Pool. My descent into the crypto world was based on a desire to create a more equitable world where individuals didn’t face discrimination in the process of just accessing the financial world. I have written about the inherent _subjectivity_ of blockchain technology in that code is a reflection of values. I believe Rocket Pool is a strong reflection of my own values. Economically, I have been the beneficiary of several gifts and a GMC grant and so the success of Rocket Pool is in my best interests. # Conflict Statement I hold small allocations of SWISE and SD. Further, I occasionally field questions from other LSD protocols. However, I have accepted no value for any service from any protocol other than Rocket Pool. # Identity Statement My name is Jaspreet Kalsi. I am a 25-year-old living in New Jersey. I’ve posted a variety of personal details around and if someone wanted to doxx me they very easily could. Despite this, I prefer to operate under a pseudonym. # Contribution Statement Most of my contributions are summarized in my retroactive award application found [here.](https://dao.rocketpool.net/t/january-2023-gmc-call-for-retrospective-award-applications-deadline-is-january-15th/1337/9) # Additional Information I am an Ethereum ecosystem maxi and will operate with that bias - for example, I am immediately skeptical of things originating from BSC, Avax, or Sol. I believe this bias of mine should be publicly known. [Next page](https://dao.rocketpool.net/t/2023-03-imc-nomination-thread/1602.md?page=2)
