I nominate JP Jansen, as he has been around the Counterparty and Dogeparty communities since the beginning, has contributed lots of ideas, code, and valuable conversations to the party platforms.

I think that JP would do an amazing job as a Foundation member and would strive to keep pushing Dogeparty forward with new features, improvements, and ideas.

Morning,
Crazyzapped here. First, would like to thank all the foundation members of last year along with the permanent ones, Xcer, Javier and Jdog for keeping Dogeparty the most warm and amazing place across chains. I love this place from the bottom of my heart , this was my intro to crypto and would like to see it reach the zenith it deserves.

Coming to the nominations, I would like to nominate Cryptochainer too, along with the fantastic candidates already nominated.

  • He is always active in the Dogeparty channels and also on Twitter. Keeps the atmosphere very lively and cheerful.

-Is an avid collector in Dogeparty, the largest one of Rare Doges across all seasons, which has kept alive the interests of a lot of artists even through the bear market. I find that a highly motivating contribution.

-Brings in views from an investor’s POV, what exactly would grab their attention for the promotion of Dogeparty and its various projects.

-Is a Rare Pepe veteran since 2016. Artist, Biggest Holder. Has experience of the bull run there. Along with Jdog, Xcer, Javier, JPJA, Nutildah, Ernest we will have a formidable team with years of experience between them to catapult Dogeparty into limelight when the bull run hits this time (it’s already started a bit :crossed_fingers:)

I hope he will attend at least a few of the meetings if elected and put our views across :smiley:

All the very best to him and each of the nominated candidates.

My main addy is D7TbSUv7ypZGGjHPMpRc1b8JEbtMWAebjJ

I would like to nominate @pappyg45. GMoney has been a very active participant in the Counterparty & Dogeparty communities in the past couple years, has numerous NFT projects, and was on the foundation last year. I think GMoney will continue to be a valuable edition to the foundation.
