CodeGov WTN Neuron

CodeGov WTN Neuron ID: 203312480b4aeef877f393f376533f4fdcaa477412ca1ae83abd8e897c0e726f

Based on the configuration described below, the CodeGov WTN neuron votes on all WTN proposals.  The CodeGov WTN neuron Followees are intentionally and actively managed on every proposal topic in order to ensure the CodeGov WTN neuron casts educated votes on every proposal submitted to the WTN SNS.  Our goal is to advance decentralization of the WaterNeuron SNS by providing a valid and credible choice as a Followee option.  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 neuron.  

Topics:
Topic 1:  Motion
Topic 2:  Manage nervous system parameters
Topic 9:   Transfer SNS Treasury Funds (this is considered a critical proposal topic)
Topic 11:   Deregister dapp canisters (this is considered a critical proposal topic)
Topic 12:   Mint SNS tokens (this is considered a critical proposal topic)
Topic 15: Advance SNS Target Version

WaterNeuron community member and known neuron

The folks above are committed to always voting on some of the most important proposal topics for the WaterNeuron community to have an independent voice.  Hence, the CodeGov WTN neuron is an available choice for anyone in the WaterNeuron DAO who wants to make sure that voting power in the SNS is as decentralized as possible.  We don't claim to be the only choice, nor do we want to be the only choice, but we are reliable and we are committed to advancing decentralization within the WaterNeuron SNS.  These Followees are unpaid, yet are committed to performing due diligence when casting their votes on these topics.  They are all asked to vote on each proposal with their own convictions.  

Topic 3:   Upgrade SNS-Controlled Canister

The Followees listed above for Topic 3 are volunteers in the WaterNeuron community and not members of the CodeGov team.  They are selected since they are actively and publicly voting on this technical topic.  CodeGov retains the right to change Followees or vote manually on this topic if the need arises, but this is not expected to happen very often as long as these Followees are reliable and credible voters.  As with every CodeGov neuron, the goal is to actively manage the CodeGov WTN neuron in a very intentional, reliable, and credible way and to be able to respond quickly as needed.

Topic 0:  All non-critical topics
Followees:
WTN Team - Leo, Enzo, Ulysse Kaz

The CodeGov WTN neuron follows the WTN team neuron at this time because there is no funding available to hire our own reviewers who can perform technical reviews of WTN proposals.  However, in the event that funding does become available some day, then CodeGov will hire reviewers to perform this work and the CodeGov WTN neuron will be configured to follow them.  Hence, if you follow the CodeGov WTN neuron on this topic then you will automatically follow the dedicated reviewers that we hire to provide technical verification of proposals and an independent vote in the future.

Topic 1000: Vote for NNS Proposals
CodeGov NNS neuron (vote relay canister)

WaterNeuron generates attractive returns for staking nICP because of the large 8 year and 6 month neurons that it owns and controls.  It participates in NNS governance by voting with the WaterNeuron NNS known neuron.  A canister is used to cast votes for these neurons based on the results of the Vote for NNS Proposals topic.  This topic is a WTN replicate of each NNS proposal and is voted by the entire WTN SNS.  The CodeGov team developed a canister that can relay votes between NNS neurons and WTN neurons.  Anyone can use this canister to set up their own vote relay (instructions provided on our codegov-wtn-vote-relay repository on GitHub), but it is also set up between the CodeGov NNS known neuron and the CodeGov WTN neuron since we already vote on all NNS proposal topics including all technical topics.

NOTE: The configuration of the neuron can be verified using the get_neuron query available on the dashboard.  Follow the link, check the neuron ID box, enter the neuron ID, and click Call.  The Candid result displays all neuron configuration properties including permission types for each principal and all Followees for each proposal topic.
