“We’re going to do this alphabetically just to make sure it’s equal for everyone.”

Charles Hoskinson**@IOHK_Charles** was the special guest. Naturally, there was a speech:
Charles committed IOG to not running for another term on the CC… & instead focuses on being an engineering firm, leaving the governance to the community.
The Atlantic Council - 00:17:43 - 00:26:46
RichardMcCrackn promises 3 mins but he really means 4 minutes. Welcome to the CardanoEffect.The Council is made of 6 OGs from the community. Rick’s pool was one of the first Cardano stake pools launched. Jennycitalinda has a copy of every NFT ever launched. adamKDean owns half of the companies currently in the cardano ecosystem.

The Cardano Confederation of Emerging Economies (CCEE) - 00:26:46 - 00:37:27
“I am nobody, and my name doesn’t matter. I am CardanoSolar on twitter. You can call meJJ. What matters is who I represent.”
Some people have customers, others clients, some yet contacts, but the confederation will have none of these, “only friends–a big network of friends across Latin America and the world.”
The confederation is made up of 6 Cardano ambassadors, 14 stake pool operators and 15 communities. For the Norwegians modeled ethical code that will govern all their actions, visit :https://www.cardanoconfederation.org/

Eastern Cardano Council (ECC) - 00:39:20 - 00:49:18
“konnichiwa, Annyong, Haseo, Sinchoi, Kia Ora and hello.” They speak 6 languages and interface with the community in their native language to promote both participation and legitimacy/trust.
“With Cardano’s origins being in East Asia, there are still a lot of ADA holders we would like to encourage to become involved in the Voltaire era of centralized governance.” The ECC has their “very own Cardano girl.”
The ECC is the second group with a published governance framework/charter, also source available in github.

Cardano Japan Consortium - 00:59:47 - 01:11:43
There are 5 Cardano ambassadors including one constitutional law practitioner in this group.
They believe that ICC members must be OG or at least know where Cardano came from. Oh also, you can’t come in with left or right politics… It’s all about balance.
“We represent the largest Cardano community in the world, both in terms of membership and Ada holdings.” wen Crazy UTXO Rich Asians: The Byron Generation?
“The Japanese community has been isolated for so long due to language barriers. Our goal is to bridge this gap.”

Internet Native Organization (INO NPO) - 01:12:54 - 01:27:29
They are already a 2 year old Estonian organization – a 15 person legally registered DAO with a 3 person board and everything. Deep details about the inner workings of the group running for the ICC.
They’ve been working to normalize DAO as a structure for centralized organizations. Their fiat estonian bank has multisig! What an idea!

Johnny Kelly - 01:29:24 - 01:42:50
Self-taught Cardano node operator. On the governance parameter working group. Also a self appointed cardano call center for governance stuff. Johnny doesn’t have his own pool on mainnet but helps enable anyone who wants to run a node but doesn’t have the technical skills… instructing them on how to hold and protect their own pool keys. The only self-identified “Tech Janitor” in the race.

Joshua Stone - 01:43:40 - 02:01:50
Maybe tasteful shill of book.io and stuff.io (CEO of both ventures). Wants to be “business and commercial voice on the ICC to ensure we have a concrete plan for reaching billions of users.” Service on his city zoning and planning committee.
“One of the great OG for the Cardano ecosystem “
This is according to Charles. The Atlantic councils and their bucket full of OGs got nothing on you “Josh”!
If there’s a conflict of interest as someone also representing a business, “the most important thing is to be transparent. I will probably abstain. The framework we’re setting up should probably account for that.”

Kevin Mohr - 02:03:40 - 02:16:22
You can call him a “fed or psyop if you want.” Worked in paralegal for the US Government with last posting being with the NSA. If elected he wants to make sure there are rules & articles, like you would find in a legal document. If Kevin got hit by a beer truck, his knows to turn the keys over to QuasarSure

Mauro Agustín Andreoli - 02:35:07 - 02:52:00
He is here to “deliver a message from the end of the world, from the bottom–m candidacy seeks to make a point.” ”Doesn’t matter who you have (as long as you have value), you can achieve the same power as the founding entities. You can achieve wonderful things….”
He’s a youthful voice (reminds us 5 times). Also the only candidate with a theme song!

Rich Manderino (EarnCoinPool) - 03:30:46 - 03:40:05
3 years since starting the EarnCoinPool and admin for the xSPO alliance–a coalition of 200 pools that started with teeny delegations that meets weekly to provide marketing or technical help for new SPOs.
The man has spent every epoch furthering the interests of SPOs but asks us to trust him that when it comes to the CC, he will take off his SPO hat and be able to live the new role.
Running as an independent candidate first for that individual touch. The second reason is community… individuals are more accessible for the community to get hold of and talk to.
