📝 Who is a Good Candidate for Nominations
A nominee is someone who is able to:
- Cover deep technical domains from the Hiero project and understand its composition.
- Have the available bandwidth to make the time to invest in the TSC responsibilities.
- Demonstrate an advanced level of professional experience as engineers in the scope of Hiero
- Operate neutrally in discussions and put the goals and success of Hiero in balance with any particular sub-project governed by the TSC.
Candidates can nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else with their consent.
Our documentation describes the process for filing a nomination.
