    Updated polls based on feedback include 2 new polls at the end, as well as a verbal correction: ‘Governing body’ has been changed to ‘voting body’ indicative of a future ‘house of stake’ style community voting body.

    For a high level overview of the different governing bodies and relevant assumptions, please see here: NDC Governance Framework V1.3 - Google Docs

    On Transparency Commission Accountability:

    Topic 1

    Should there be a limit on removals per year by the Transparency Commission?

    • (A) No, the TC is qualified and capable of determining for themselves who is fit to serve.

    Topic 3:

    Should a third party entity audit the work of the TC?

    On the Voting Power and Involvement of the Larger Voting Body
