Dear Linear Community, We are nearing the end of the second Linear Council epoch and are in the midst of opening up the 3rd LC election. With this in mind, we have created this post to outline the election process for both existing LC and new community members to join the council.<h2 id="header-0">Linear DAO Overview</h2>The Linear governance model is set up with the following goals in mind:<ul><li>Allow the community to propose and drive changes to the protocol</li><li>Enable the community to influence and shape the future of the protocol</li><li>Ensure the health and long-term growth of the protocol</li></ul>The Linear Council is the governing council composed of community members who are heavily invested in the Linear Ecosystem and its future. The Linear Council is responsible for overseeing the DAO and ensuring it runs smoothly in representing the community. It also acts as a gatekeeper for the protocol and can veto any Propositions that might be detrimental to the Linear ecosystem.<h2 id="header-1">Epoch 3 Election Process</h2>Same as the current epoch, the following epoch the LC will consist of 4 members, both the current LC and pDAO believe this is the ideal number of council members to distribute their responsibilities.Nomination process for Epoch 3 will be the same as the previous two epochs.There will be a one-week period from Monday, October 17, until October 23 at 15:00 UTC for the community to nominate any members by creating a forum topic in <a href="https://forum.linear.finance/c/linear-council-candidate-nomination/9" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Linear Council Candidate Nomination Category. </a><ul><li>Title: “LC Nomination: {LC role} - {candidate name} - {summary line}”</li><li>Content</li><li><ul><li>Who - Brief introduction</li><li>What - Contribution to Community (Past &amp; Future)</li><li>How - Relevant Skills or Background on how to drive DAO and Linear to greater success</li><li>Any other related campaign pitching material or info</li></ul></li></ul><ol><li>By the end of the nomination period, the pDAO will gather the top 3 nominations from the forum (by topic likes and engagement) as voting choices and invite them along with the 4 current LC members to post their application to Linear Finance Snapshot.</li><li>Voters will then proceed to vote on Snapshot.</li><li>By the end of the voting period, the top 4 voted candidates will become the LC members.</li><li>The pDAO will announce the LC in a blog post and introduce the LC members to the community.</li></ol>Current LC members will be automatically nominated for this coming Epoch. They are welcome to update their original nomination proposal on the Linear DAO Forum and let community members know they are running for re-election.Note that in order for nominees to post their nomination for voting on Snapshot they will need  a minimum of 500k LINA (79 vLINA), this includes STAKED and LOCKED LINA tokens.Snapshot voting will be open from Monday, October 24th, and have it run for one week until October 31st.Linear Council members for the third epoch will be announced on Tuesday, November 1st.Good luck to everyone,Linear Finance TeamAbout Linear FinanceLinear Finance is a cross-chain compatible, decentralized delta-one asset protocol that allows users to get synthetic exposure to various assets, including cryptocurrency, commodities, and market indices.
