The ApeCoin Special Council Is In The Process Of Filling Three Important DAO Positions

The ApeCoin Special Council is working find a new Director, Supervisor, and Administrator for the DAO after the Cartan Group’s proposal was rejected by the community in December 2022.

After the ApeCoin DAO voted against the Cartan Group’s proposal to renews its administrative contract with the DAO last year, the Special Council has been tasked with filling the Director, Supervisor, and Administrator roles that were previously handled by the Cartan Group.

The Bored Ape Gazette reached out to the Special Council to find out more about its process and search for a Cartan Group replacement.

“There are effectively 3 roles we are replacing in the near-term: a) Director, b) Supervisor, and c) Administrator (who performs administrative tasks but this could also be multiple vendors),” ApeCoin Special Council Member BoredApeG told the Gazette. “The APE Foundation, via the Special Council, will select the new providers to fill these roles via a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Initial interviews for Director and Supervisor have been completed; we are on track to onboard new service providers for these roles by the end of the month. As for Administrator services, we have started interviewing potential providers, but that process will be completed in February.”

BoredApeG declined to tell the Gazette any names or information about the possible Cartan Group replacements at this time.

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the ApeCoin DAO passed Ape Improvement Proposal 196 titled “Bringing Order and Reliability via Ecosystem Decentralization,” earlier this month. By passing AIP-196, the ApeCoin DAO extended its administrative contract with the Cartan Group two months to maintain continuity and compliance as it works to find a path forward, according to the proposal.

The Cartan Group's contract with the DAO is set to end on February 28th, 2023. The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow the ApeCoin DAO and its search for a new Director, Supervisor, and Administrator. Stay tuned for updates!
