Transition Period:
• Effective Date: Bishop’s role as the 5th DFC member begins on August 1, 2024.

This period is crucial for Bishop to fully integrate into his new role with a clear understanding of the DFC’s ongoing and upcoming projects.
Attendance Expectations:
• Regular Participation: Bishop is expected to attend nearly every DFC meeting to ensure active participation and effective decision-making. Regular attendance is critical in maintaining the continuity and integrity of the DFC’s operations.
• Communication of Absences: Any absence longer than one meeting must be clearly communicated in advance. This will allow sufficient time to plan and, if necessary, assign duties to an alternate member, ensuring that the DFC’s work continues uninterrupted.

Drawbacks:
No Significant Drawbacks: The transition is designed to maintain the continuity of institutional knowledge and governance effectiveness. With GiantKin transitioning to an Alternate role within the DFC, his expertise and historical insights will continue to benefit the committee. This ensures that the DFC retains his institutional knowledge while also benefiting from Bishop’s fresh perspectives and specific expertise in areas like risk management and cybersecurity.

For: Voting in favor of this proposal indicates support for the addition of Bishop to replace GiantKin as the 5th member of the DFC
