Delegate Statement
A brief intro to yourself: I'm Kevin Nielsen, the founder of Boardroom, a company that supports governance for over 350 DAOs and protocols. With years of experience building governance infrastructure and tools for decentralized organizations, I’m passionate about fostering robust and transparent governance systems. My background gives me a unique perspective on the technical and community aspects of decentralized governance.
A message to the community and ecosystem:
As a delegate, I bring several years of hands-on experience working with governance systems across various DAOs and protocols. My main focus will be on making Scroll’s governance more transparent and functional. Specifically, I can contribute by helping to identify areas where governance processes are slowing down decision-making and offering practical solutions to streamline them.
I'll also work to reduce information gaps for the average community member, making governance updates and decisions more accessible and easier to follow. I understand the challenges builders and tokenholders face in navigating complex governance structures, and I'll focus on ensuring Scroll’s governance remains adaptable, efficient, and inclusive. I aim to help the Scroll community stay informed and engaged through clear communication and direct action.

For40.22K SCR - Scroll DAO Constitution
We support the proposed Scroll DAO Constitution as a strong starting point. It’s a living document that will evolve over time, and while there’s room for refinement, its six-article structure is well-organized and more effective than other launch constitutions we’ve seen. The definitions in Article II and governance procedures in Article III are clear, though the wording on SCR delegation could be more precise to avoid confusion. The 0.21% voting quorum is low but reasonable for launch, with flexibility for future adjustments. The four governing principles are solid, and we appreciate how the document has progressed through community feedback. Establishing a strong foundation is key, and this achieves that.
For40.31K SCR - Research to inform a builder support strategy
Generally in favor of this proposal. We strongly agree that properly managing resources is an important problem. It’s important to look at Scroll from a meta point of view and make sure we’re attracting builders effectively and efficiently.
