CodeGov NNS Neuron

CodeGov NNS Neuron ID: 2649066124191664356

The CodeGov neuron votes on all proposals, but with a specialization in the IC-OS Version Election, Protocol Canister Management, Subnet Management, Participant Management, Node Admin, Governance, and SNS & Neuron's Fund proposal topics.  CodeGov reserves the right to change Followee selections on any proposal topic at any time according to what we believe is the best configuration of our known neuron.  The CodeGov neuron Followees are intentionally and actively managed on every proposal topic in order to ensure the CodeGov neuron casts educated votes on every proposal submitted to the NNS.

CodeGov Followees listed below on topics 5, 6, 7, 13, and 17 are funded by the Grants for Voting Neurons program offered by DFINITY.

Topic 5: Node Admin
Topic 6: Participant Management
Topic 7: Subnet Management

Followees listed below for topics 0, 8, and 18 are known to vote reliably and credibly, but do not offer decentralization to the network.  At this time there is no other known neuron in the ICP ecosystem that makes themselves known to specialize in these topics.  In the event that additional neurons are identified to fill this gap, then CodeGov will consider following them if they are proven to be credible and reliable.

Topic 0: All Topics Except Governance and SNS & Neuron Fund (aka Unspecified)
Topic 8: Application Canister Management
Topic 18: Service Nervous System Management

Followee(s):
DFINITY - 27
