ok, after some thinking, I would like to confirm that I will accept the nomination, so that at least you guys get to vote on something 
Some info about myself, my background is more pure DS/ML with professional exp. in aerospace - see my Kaggle profile here. I have my own small DS consultancy so I have full control of my time, but it can get crazily busy. The whole Web3/DAO thing is new to me but I am increasingly involved in various projects in this space - I like the general openness and transparency, but also fearful of all the scams/fallouts
Some thoughts on Numerai
- The Numerai team is awesome, and the project is as sound as it gets in the Defi space
- The upcoming challenge is enormous in terms of getting more institution investor onboard, but I am convinced that they are bringing the right people on board, and going this the right way - even though this by no means guarantee success
- I would like Numerai to be even more transparent to the community, be more proactively in seeking community input on tournament development, and within reason share with us how the company is doing.
Some thoughts on CoE
- Great success in the first year
- especially sponsoring and facilitating the development of Numerbay - huge kudo to @restrading obviously - Personally I would like to see CoE doing more to promote Numerai in the ML/DS community - the meetup being organised by @ia_ai is a great example, however I think there are more we can do content-wise to entice more people to join - The crypto crash is not a blocking point, the crypto crash creates a huge opportunity for people to get in, if we can communicate and educate accordingly that is
that is all for now, i will be around this space and the chat - see you around
