The question is why the author of the present proposal did not disclose the fact that he is being funded by Numerai prior to the vote for Council of Elders members in an appropriate place. An appropriate place to make such a disclosure would have been here: [Elder Candidates Introductions](http://forum.numer.ai/t/elder-candidates-introductions/). Unfortunately he made no such post there and the question brings to light the fact that under the present composition of the CoE, it cannot be said, with all due honesty, to be an independent body w.r.t Numerai or for that matter strictly represent the community. I loudly applaud the _one_ CoE member who has claimed elsewhere that he will not accept payment – if I may infer – from any source Numerai related except the tournament itself, which would place him squarely beside the rest of the community members and therefore able to represent the community without reservations. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.numer.ai/t/proposal-sponsor-ohwa-and-dsc/3792)._
