**💡What is Council of consultants?** - Now #NEAR is preparing for the elections. What kind of elections? Yesterday we already talked about NDC, and today we will remind you again👇 @ndctrust.near (**NEAR Digital Collective**) is a new decentralized Community Treasure governance system where the community will decide where the funding goes. To achieve this goal, the #NDC holds leadership elections. **There are three nominations, we reviewed one yesterday, today review the second:** - **🔹House of Merit** **🔹Council of consultants** **🔹Transparency Commission** What is a Council of Advisors? The Council of Advisors is made up of leaders that you, the community, will vote for in an election. Their role is to advise the House of Merit on strategic direction, helping to ensure it is aligned with the values and mission of the NEAR ecosystem. In particular, the Council of Councilors has the power to veto House of Merit proposals if the councilors feel that the distribution is not in line with the community's goals. This requires a strong majority of five out of seven votes to block the proposal. **And now in a very simplified form:** 🔸House of Merit - budget planning 🔸Council of Advisors - HoM budget consultation and VETO power 🔸Transparency Commission - we will review tomorrow :) ❗️To become one of the advisors you must be making an active contribution in the #Near ecosystem and have an OG SBT.❗️ **⏰ Sep 7 : Deadline for candidacy submissions.** **⏳ Election Period: Sep 8th – Sep 22nd** To run for office, you need an OG SBT and a passion for NEAR's decentralization.
