@data who is someone else you think should be acknowledged? I am sure your name will come up (cough cough, in the op ) so there is no need to plug here. Trust me this is only "phase one" and you are already on the list
Wasn't a plug so much as a validation.. we are just naming off people, many of whom may have no desire whatsoever to be a committee member.. so I think its important for those that might consider it to make it known, otherwise we are just creating a phantom list.
So.. a lot of the community has already been mentioned here, but I think someone who might be interested in the markets aspect of bitshares:
AnderAlso the creator and maintainer of bitsharesblog who was dooling out the witnesses of the months awards and who has had an eye on everything going on since day one:
mint chocolate chip (used to be bitsharesblog)
Then there is the obvious choice that is exactly whom bytemaster was referring to today.. businesses that have an active interest in bitshares:
ccedkI will be joining these ranks quite soon as well as mentioned.
There are others I would consider as well, however, many of them are already witnesses, and among them there is a general sentiment that there should not be witnesses as committee members because of conflict of interest. However, puppy has put in for his membership and stated clearly he will abstain from voting on matters related to witness pay.. which I think sets a fine precedent for witnesses to be there also. There is only the added liability they bring upon themselves of course. If I were to include them as well a few more that come to mind are:
wachou
xendal
bitcubeThat's about it off the top of my head.. as I said, if they don't plan on it, then the list might just be an aggravation to some. I also caution us taking up similar approaches to our sharocracy as we have seen happen in current political systems today. eg. the notion of nomination.. parties.. campaigning. We have an opportunity to rediscover new ways to manage and lead this global endevour.
