Governance

CITIZENS
WHO ARE THE CITIZENS?
Citizens are the heart and soul of the community.
Their vote will help to decide whether a proposal is executed on the network.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Vetoing un-controversially dangerous or malicious referendums
Electing Councillors to represent the Citizens
Lobbying Councillors to submit proposals
HOW DO I BECOME A CITIZEN?
1. COMPLETE IDENTITY VERIFICATION
Identity verification involves connecting your wallet to both a Twitter and Discord account.
Anyone who completes the verification will become a Citizen, with the role also granted on Discord.
WHO ARE THE COUNCILLORS?
Councillors are the trusted gatekeepers to the network, with each Councillor having one key that is a part of the multi-signature system that allows changes to the protocol.
RESPONSIBILITITES:
Submitting sensible proposals
Approving beneficial proposals, thereby transforming them into referenda
Rejecting unsuitable proposals
Conveying the voice of the Citizens
HOW DO I BECOME A COUNCILLOR?
Staying true to our guiding principles of decentralisation and community decision-making, future Councillor elections will be a process built and led by the community via governance, with support from the CENNZnet team.
We anticipate the experience the community gains from governing the network will help build a robust Councillor election system.
