Nomination: Ana for Moonwell Security Council (Replacing Elliot)

Summary

This proposal recommends replacing Elliot from Solidity Labs with Ana (@anajuliabit) as a member of the Moonwell Security Council. Ana is a core developer for both Moonwell and Mamo, and her expertise and direct involvement with the protocol make her an ideal candidate to strengthen the Security Council. She is very familiar with the onchain proposal process, and is a lifesaver in all technical developments of the protocol. This is not a hostile removal by any means, Elliot recently winded down Solidity Labs, and is stepping away from his involvement at Moonwell. Additionally, Ana formerly worked with Elliot but was enshrined into the Moonwell team.

Motivation

For those unfamiliar, the Moonwell Security Council plays a critical role in safeguarding the protocol and responding to emergency situations. Given Ana’s deep familiarity with Moonwell’s codebase and operations, her addition would provide the Council with enhanced technical expertise and protocol-specific knowledge. Elliot has served diligently on the Security Council, and this proposed change reflects the evolving needs of the protocol rather than any concern regarding past performance.

Rationale

• Technical Expertise: Ana is a core contributor to Moonwell and Mamo, giving her firsthand knowledge of the protocol’s architecture and security requirements.

• Responsiveness: As an internal developer, Ana can respond swiftly in the event of an emergency requiring Security Council action.

• Alignment: Ana’s day-to-day involvement with Moonwell ensures her incentives are directly aligned with the protocol’s safety and success.

Specification

• Remove Elliot (Solidity Labs) from the Moonwell Security Council multisig.

• Add Ana (@anajuliabit) as a new signer on the Security Council multisig.

This proposal requests that the Moonwell DAO approve this change and authorize the necessary updates to the Security Council’s Gnosis Safe configuration.

Next Steps & Voting Options

If approved, this change will be implemented by the appropriate Moonwell DAO administrators or multisig signers.
