Governance Advisory Committee
The Governance Advisory Committee (GAC) serves as a link between Algorand ecosystem stakeholders and the Algorand Foundation (AF), and it was established to discuss the measures that will drive our governance program in 2023 and beyond.
Forming the Committee
The main motivation behind the creation of this committee is to bring a variety of stakeholder voices to the governance measures process, whilst we work on developing, and deploying the xGov program.
xGov will start with decisions about grants only, but the intention is to progressively broaden the scope of decision over time, until then the Governance Advisory Community will offer stakeholders representation in the governance measures proposals process.
This 2023 committee has 14 members with representatives from each vertical group - two DeFi, two Web3, one Gaming and one Impact, as well as two investors, two Developer houses, one Bridge, one General-use dApp and two Community Participants.
We are introducing the committee's first round of members with a number of key Algorand stakeholders this year, but in our view, the committee itself will make decisions about its future composition, how seats are nominated, the duration of members' terms, etc.
