I’m personally voting for people with deep technical expertise. Enthusiasm counts, but “I sign whatever is up for signing” would be a bad attitude for a multisig signer. I’d love to see people who:
Keep a bird’s eye view of how the system functions in their head
Can read smart and understand smart contracts, including caveats
Can decode smart contract calldata by hand
Have shown deep involvement, forum/discord/telegram activity and other contributions should count
Update: I’ve collected some stats from the working group (messages and days active):
having technical people is nice but expecting people to decode smart contract calldata by hand might be a bit much IMO i don’t think it’s fair to exclude candidates because they aren’t amazing programmers.
Here’s my personal list of noms that I’d like to see fill the space. I don’t know these people personally, but can speak on my interactions over the past several weeks and observations over the past several years.

Has volunteered time from early iearn days in securing the contracts. Brilliant mind at the forefront of the space. Only concern would be if they’re interested (has not self-nominated afaik) and if there is too much of a conflict of interest.
Mariano Conti [https://twitter.com/nanexcool]
Wonderful person who offers dev expertise, social capital, and positivity.
Vasily Shapovalov [https://twitter.com/_vshapovalov]
Has been very active in contributing to and shaping ideas. Very level headed and wise.
Julien Bouteloup [https://twitter.com/bneiluj?s=20]
Another mind on the forefront of the industry who can contribute a lot to battle testing and improving the protocol.

An industry powerhouse that self-nominated. Am a fan of their work. Again, connectivity, social capital, dev specialty.
Substreight - Yes please, let’s make sure MS holders are active participants. This is important so that their actions are aligned with that of the will of the community.
I would like to see us also implement a yearly process where these can be nominated for, if the MS holder is happy to retain and the community believes they have put in the right values and standards then they can continue.
We should put together and framework as a community of the types of values, and specific non negotiable actions items in place so that there is an accountability piece for these MS holders to agree to that is set by us.
Remember as a council they represent us publicly and should align to the communities standards.
Added basic reasoning to my post. Hope that helps!
The question is how do we identify and elect who should actually fill the open spaces? A forum signaling poll is probably not sufficient as can be gamed.
Agree - no we should put in place the standards that we want to see from these people, action items such as signing within time frames for voted on proposals.
We can go through and list the things we need from the MS and then the standards, such as “Always acting with highest level of integrity and will represent the Yearn brand as strongly as if it were there is” etc.
We can have a chat about those things in discord and then perhaps come up with perhaps something we can even sign on chain.
What this also does is sets out the things one would need to look to achieve if they wanted this role in the future, we need a way to measure what is a good job and what good looks like to us.
We don’t need an election, the people that are selected are all of a high standard, but I think holding them accountable to something is necessary.
