Selection of Cayman Islands Administrator(s) for the APE Foundation

ABSTRACT

This vote is to choose the Cayman Islands Administrator(s) for the APE Foundation.

The available options reflect the service providers who chose to apply for the Request for Proposal (RFP) advertised here: https://forum.apecoin.com/t/request-for-proposal-cayman-islands-administrator-for-the-ape-foundation/11051

This RFP was administered by Working Group Zero (WG0), with support from the ApeCoin Special Council. Via AIP-196, the ApeCoin DAO empowered WG0 to administer the RFP and bring the selection decision to a DAO-wide vote.

The DAO must choose between two new potential APE Foundation Administrators:

• WebSlinger
• Autonomous + Lemma + Provenance

WG0 STEWARDS ANALYSIS

Following multiple meetings with all parties and careful consideration of the four proposals received, the WG0 Stewards believe WebSlinger to be the best choice for the next administrator of the APE Foundation. While both groups are competent and accomplished – WebSlinger’s breadth of background, CFO services provided by a global entity, desire to help decentralize DAO operations, and extensive experience in the Crypto / Web3 / DAO environment were the key differentiating factors in our choice.

Bidders were evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Knowledge/Skill Requirement & Work Experience – Bidder has demonstrated recency and relevancy as well as depth and breadth of experience associated with the role assigned. maximum 40 points
• Capacity and Redundancy – Demonstrated evidence of bidder’s capacity to complete the project (i.e., sufficient staffing redundancy to prevent lost time in the event of staffing changes) maximum 10 points
• Availability and ability to meet deadlines – Preference will be given to bidders ready for an immediate start and with a demonstrated capability to be available to complete work as outlined by the Community. maximum 25 points
• Value and Price – The Community is seeking a cost-effective solution to its administrative support needs. maximum 25 points
