- I am not a Fellow, do I have voting rights?
Yes. All Fellowship members have voting rights. Rank 1 members can vote on referenda posted on the Members
track. Rank 2 members can vote on any referenda posted on the Members
and Proficient Members
tracks.
- Where can I see my voting record?
Currently, there is no UI/aggregator that provides custom voting records for members. This means that members have to crunch the existing data on Fellowship referenda (taking into consideration their rank and their reporting period) to work out their voting activity rate or voting agreement rate.
- Where can I see existing data for Fellowship referenda?
All information about Fellowship referenda can be found on Polkadot-JS, Polkassembly, and Subsquare. Generally-speaking, it is much easier to access, cross-reference, and review this data from Subsquare.
- Which data do I need to mention in my voting record?
Members of Rank 1-2 will need to include data about voting activity in % (i.e Out of all the referenda in which you were eligible to vote, on how many did you cast your vote?). Members of Rank 3-6 will need to include data about voting agreement in % (i.e Out of all the referenda in which members of higher ranks were in complete agreement, on how many did you cast your vote in line with the consensus?) in addition to the above.
- How do I submit my voting record?
You can use the ‘voting record’ section of the evidence report template.
- I forgot to include my voting record but my retention/promotion proposal is already up for vote. What do I do?
You can log into Subsquare and post a comment on the on-chain proposal to submit your voting record.
- Do I need to attend an interview?
You will need to attend an in-person interview whenever you are seeking to be promoted to Rank 3, 4, 5, and 6.
- What is the process for attending in-person interviews?
If you are seeking promotion to Ranks 3+, you will need to:
- Make sure that your promotion period has elapsed
- Check that there is plenty of time left on your demotion period
- Open a PR to submit your evidence report for promotion
- Submit a sub-treasury proposal to obtain funding for interview-related costs (optional)
- Attend the interview and demonstrate all the requirements for promotion to the requested rank. The on-chain proposal may be submitted on-chain during or after this interview.
- What if I need to reschedule my in-person interview?
Make sure to contact Rank 5+ members ASAP to agree on a new date and time. If you are unable to secure a new interview and your demotion period is ending in less than 30 days, you must submit a request for retention at your current rank so that you do not become liable for demotion. This also means that you will need to postpone your request for promotion.
