Proposal For Change : Vote For New Bot Operators Required

It’s been good, but after 3 months as the Bot Operator for @ssg-community it is time for me (BuggedOut) to move on and give somebody else a turn as I have some real life stuff to take care of from July onward. As per our Governance Framework which was outlined when @ssg-community was created, there is enough flexibility for a transition of this community asset to occur via a Proposal For Change. See Governance item iii)

iii) A Proposal For Change is formally drawn up by the Community Bot Operator who Posts it on the STEEM platform and it is voted on voluntarily by Community Members

So the first part of the Proposal For Change is that 2 of our long standing and committed members @silverstackeruk and @welshstacker take on the role of Bot Operators and have the Master Key for the @ssg-community account passed on to them, as per Governance item vii)

viii) Community Members may decide to change Community Bot Operator via Petition For Change and the Master Key for the Community Bot Account will be transferred to the new Community Bot Operator

In addition, these two members have requested that a 50% discount be applied to their Contribution Tier each month to help compensate for the additional workload required to operate the @ssg-community account. This can be made possible via approval of a Contingency Expense as outlined in Governance item vii)

vii) All proceeds from Author Rewards, Curation Rewards, Membership Contributions or Powered Down STEEM are returned to the Community Members via purchase of a Delegation Lease to boost Community Bot Upvote value unless an explicit contingency expense has been approved via a formal Membership Vote

So in summary this Proposal For Change contains 2 parts which are to be voted on together :-

1. The new Bot Operators for @ssg-community will be @welshstacker and @silverstackeruk and the Master Key of @ssg-community is to be passed to them

2. A Contingency Expense taking the form of a 50% discount to Contribution Tiers for @welshstacker and @silverstackeruk is to be added to the ongoing budget for @ssg-community

There will be 2 comments below this post which will be a simple “YES – I support this Proposal For Change” and “NO – I reject this Proposal For Change” and we ask you, the members of the #SteemSilverGold community to place a nominal vote on one of these comments to indicate your preference. Voting will be open for 72 hours (3 days) from the posting of this Proposal For Change.

As the incumbent Bot Operator I would encourage members to support this Proposal For Change. These two guys have been involved with @ssg-community from the start and they have proven they care about the long term future of the #SteemSilverGold membership and it’s upvote service. You would struggle to find more dedicated members than these 2 guys.
