According to Foresight News, the Arbitrum community has passed the on-chain vote for 'AIP 6: Council Election Proposed Implementation'. The Arbitrum team has developed a smart contract system for on-chain voting, and this vote aims to enable the smart contract system for elections and conduct a temperature check with the DAO. Successful votes will result in on-chain proposals.
Regarding elections, the constitution stipulates that council members are divided into two groups, with the election process involving the replacement of six council members every six months. The process is divided into election stages and update stages, both of which are executed through on-chain smart contracts. The election stage includes seven days of nominee selection and 21 days of member election, with the top six nominees being selected and then entering the update stage.
The vote also amends the Arbitrum constitution text, including the charter and Article 4 of the constitution. The first Arbitrum Council election is expected to begin on September 15th, replacing the initial batch of council members. The proposal states that the Arbitrum Foundation election complies with Cayman Islands law, with a compliance process time of 14 days.
Candidates for elected council members should not exceed three individuals or entity groups, ensuring that no single entity or entity group can control or even veto council votes. Additionally, any candidate with a conflict of interest should not be elected as a council member.
