Thanks for clarifying.

The role of the board observers, we’re told, is to be “in the room” and positively influence PNF decision-making at monthly board meetings. They may also be able to help with PNF’s finances, operations, and strategy.

## Impossible Choice

This proposal presents an impossible choice: all of the applicants have stellar qualifications. I would want all of them “to be in the room.”

I strongly agree with Jinx that two is too few and that there should be at least three.

> While there are two open board observer roles, the current observer application thread shows there are a number of qualified people whose experience, connections, and expertise would benefit the protocol. I suggest that the two positions be opened up to a minimum of three.

## Let’s Take Advantage

Highly talented individuals want to contribute on behalf of the DAO. Let’s take advantage.
