### Overview

Last week the Treasury Committee published a more detailed [charter describing the goals and duties of the Index Coop Treasury Committee.](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/expanding-the-treasury-committee/632)

Since then, @DarkForestCapital has accepted a nomination to the Treasury Committee. There do not seem to be any other major candidates. This post finalizes the terms of his membership and puts his candidacy to a formal vote.

The Treasury Committee will accept a vote of \> 70% **FOR** as a passing confirmation vote. If this vote turns contentious we can revise terms or entertain different candidates.

Realise I never officially pitched for the role but aside from what’s written above I’d also be looking to:

- Increase transparency of treasury holdings/spending by making the data easily accessible (kicking off some work with @Thomas_Hepner on this)
- Look for ways to innovate around treasury and tokenomics to benefit Index community
- Hold myself to the principles set out [here](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/index-coops-guiding-principles/346)

The Coop has come a long way in just a few months and I’m excited to see what we can achieve in 2021!

I voted no here only because a one year term duration seems quite long for an organization that is ~3 months old

otherwise, am very much in favor of Dark Forest joining the treasury committee
