Next Committee Member Selection Process and the Duration
The Committee will be composed of 4 members, selected through a governance decision process similar to the original Committee, but with one fewer member. To ensure ample time for applications, a forum thread for the Committee member role will be available in the week leading up to Christmas. It’s important to note that the closing date for applications will be January 12th at 23:59 EST, considering the holiday season in late December and early January. On January 15th, a snapshot-weighted voting will take place, allowing each voter to distribute their voting power among any number of choices. The top four candidates will then be chosen as members for the upcoming Committee.
In terms of the duration of the next Committee, it will be once again 6 months. Therefore, the next Committee will span from mid-January to mid-July. Once the term ends, the next Committee should share learnings from the new program.

Hello everyone! First off, I just wanted to say thanks to @Doo_StableLab for drafting this re-election post. For the last 6+ months, I’ve had the honor of working with him and three other talented committee members on the first cycle of this committee.
To be concise, I’ll link my first cycle nomination here 3 since much is the same, but in short, leading the Penn Blockchain and PGov platforms for 2+ years has allowed me to help various teams with their deployments and I look forward to continue doing so. With this new iteration of the committee, I would like to see/do more on the topic of general accountability and not just cross chain deployments to the extent of which the DAO and UF approve. Further, I’m looking forward to v4 deployment proposals and doing more on the topic of promised incentive and liquidity accountability.
Thanks to everyone for their consideration and hope everyone has a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays & New Year!

Applicant Summary including why interested in applying for the Program (1 Paragraph):
There were a lot of lessons learned while participating in the first Uniswap Deployments Accountability Committee. If selected again, this time will be focusing on reporting to improve the transparency for the Uniswap community. Experience in participating in various governance and committees focusing on evaluation and accountability will be an asset for the next Committee as well.
Applicant Name: Abdullah Umar (Michigan Blockchain / Arana Digital)
I’m applying for this role because of my previous work with 6 deployments in the last year. I’ve had the fortune to help facilitate the gov process and aid in authoring Uniswap v3 deployment proposals for
Avalanche C-chain
Moonbeam (Polkadot parachain)
Filecoin Virtual Machine
Base
Scroll
Rootstock (pending)
Collaborating closely with these protocols has helped me develop a sense of how to best conduct due diligence and assess these various deployments. Going forward, the goal of this committee should be to continually assess the efficacy of these deployments and deliberate how Uniswap’s multichain future should be shaped. This will become even more interesting with Uniswap v4 rolling out soon. Multiple dimensions of complexity will be introduced with hooks, and that requires diligently planning which chains deserve v4 deployments. My pursuit with the committee is to critically think about how Uniswap should adapt with the ever-innovating crypto space with the likes of more and more L2s, VMs, architectures like EVM parallelization–and ensure that the protocol continues to sustain and grow its marketshare.

Hey everyone, I’m glad to see a re-election process for the accountability committee. As a quick intro, I have been a research analyst at Blockworks Research for the past two years and started the recent Uniswap community calls that we are now conducting on a monthly basis. It looks like the committee was quite busy over the last term, and it’s exciting to see such high demand for Uniswap deployments across many chains.
I’m interested in joining the accountability committee to help oversee these potential new deployments, especially with v4 coming soon. It will be important to maintain momentum with new deployments and keep communication open and transparent across all parties. One way the committee can do this is to assign relationship leads within the committee and plot a firm cadence of communication to optimize the process. My role at Blockworks Research has enabled me to gain substantial experience in protocol relationship management. Our team is already connected with the majority of L1s and L2s and Blockworks tends to open a lot doors with key stakeholders at these companies. I would love the opportunity to contribute my skills to the accountability committee in any way possible to enhance positive outcomes for all stakeholders.
Applicant Name: @Frisson [Tally]
Applicant Summary: Hi Uniswap Delegates, I’m Frisson. My two primary roles are VP of Growth at Tally and Arbitrum DAO Delegate. I love Uniswap and have been looking for opportunities to contribute to the DAO. I’m excited to throw my hat in the ring for the Uniswap Deployment Accountability Committee! As VP of Growth, I manage the process of supporting new chains at Tally. I regularly evaluate new chain opportunities in terms of the market size and competitive environment, manage implementation, and drive business development/go-to-market. One area of focus I’m interested in bringing to the Uniswap Deployments Accountability Committee is testing a proactive go-to-market strategy. I’d like to help the Uniswap DAO do more to drive adoption of Uniswap on deployed chains. There is a competitive environment for AMM adoption on most chains, with Uniswap often competing against “native” products. Often, competitive products to Uniswap receive grants to incentivize adoption, while Uniswap does not. The original Uniswap Deployments Accountability Committee proposal suggests that we should “require that deployment proposals offer financial incentives to Uniswap”. I believe this approach is somewhat presumptuous and we would be better served by thoughtfully evaluating opportunities to partner with new chains to incentivize adoption. If appointed, I would implement a test go-to-market strategy for Uniswap on some deployed chains that is focused on identifying opportunities to incentivize adoption. I would document my efforts and measure success, then make a recommendation at the end of the six-month term on whether we should continue or expand such efforts.
