Adding Tim Beiko as multisig signer

Proposal Overview

We propose to add Tim Beiko, from the Ethereum Foundation, as the 7th signer for the DAO’s multisig wallet.

Motivation

The DAO’s multisig committee serves as the gatekeepers for the DAO’s funds and execution privileges. They are responsible to validate, verify and execute proposals passed by the community.

As gatekeepers, having a diverse, independent and technically savvy group of signers is important. As such, public figures in the ethereum community are a perfect fit.

About Tim

Tim Beiko is the facilitator for the Ethereum AllCoreDevs calls, where potential changes to the Ethereum protocol are discussed, decided and rolled out. Aside from that, he spends his spare time working with a small number of projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. Prior to this, he worked for ConsenSys as a Senior Product Manager on their Ethereum client, Hyperledger Besu. Twitter account

Mechanics

Tim will be added as signer number 7.

Tim will use his public ENS address on the multisig, timbeiko.eth, or 0x10F5d45854e038071485AC9e402308cF80D2d2fE.

On approval, the existing multisig committee will each sign an approval transaction to add Tim to the signer list.

The final signer threshold will be 4-out-of-7.
