Meet the Newly-elected Second Supervisory Council Members

Dear Singularitarians,

The votes are in, and a new Supervisory Council (SC) has been elected.

We are excited to officially announce the three new Supervisory Council members: Daniel Ospina, Grace Rachmany, and Xhoni Shollaj.

The new members of the Supervisory Council are part of a task force that will develop the blueprint for progressive decentralization, guiding SingularityNET into a decentralized future. The SC will represent by the community, and work with the community to create a collaborative environment in which every voice matters and contributes to the collective vision.

Let us introduce you to the newly elected Supervisory Council, and learn more about the all-important task with which they’re entrusted.

Meet the new Supervisory Council

Daniel Ospina

Daniel Ospina brings over 12 years expertise in decentralized governance and collaborative systems.

He’s an instigator in RnDAO (collaboration-tech venture builder, incubator, and product ecosystem) and co-lead in TogetherCrew (community-powered growth while saving time for community builders through behavioral analytic insights and automations).

Daniel would focus on stakeholder inclusion, participatory design, and bottom-up experimentation. He advocates starting with small pilots, rapid learning cycles, and scaling successes, and is committed to an inclusive decentralization journey for SNET.

“I look forward to supporting the SingularityNET ecosystem in exploring benevolent forms of organizing for the age of networks and AI.”

Grace Rachmany

Grace Rachmany is one of the leaders in the areas of new economic models, digital democracy, tokenomics, blockchain governance and distributed technology.

She is an expert in the practicalities of how to lead a decentralized/distributed organization, having worked with hundreds of organizations in the blockchain space. Her background in technology leadership, innovation, and marketing spans 35 years. Grace is the founder of the Voice of Humanity and Priceless Economics projects.

Her current work involves experimentation in infrastructure for human collaboration, governance, living environments, and non-monetary economic systems. Grace provides workshops and consulting services for DAOs through DAO Leadership.

“Most people agree that AGI technology should be governed by the people — after all, this technology will have a huge influence in the evolution of humanity. SingularityNET is a real attempt to make this a reality, combining DAO governance with AI development so that all of us can have a say in how these technologies will be implemented in our lives. I’m honored to be part of that effort.”

Xhoni Shollaj

Xhoni (Johnny) Shollaj is a seasoned Research Engineer at the National University of Singapore, where he harnesses his extensive expertise in data science and analytics to drive impactful research. His intellectual pursuits predominantly lie in the realms of Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, Cloud Technologies, Blockchain Technology, and Natural Language Processing.

With a particular affinity for Large Language Models and Blockchain, he endeavors to contribute pioneering research that resonates profoundly within the academic and industrial communities such as the one at SingularityNET.

“I’m truly happy to be joining the SNET Supervisory Council! It’s a fantastic opportunity to work alongside some brilliant minds, and I’m really looking forward to contributing to the advancements on the path to decentralized AGI.”

The next steps for the Supervisory Council & creating the decentralization blueprint

The Second Supervisory Council is mandated with the all-important task of representing the Community in the creation of the Decentralized Blueprint.

The Decentralization Blueprint will be created by the SingularityNET Community DAO (SCDAO) Task Force, comprising the newly elected Supervisory Council, domain experts, and representatives from the SingularityNET Foundation.

With an overarching mission to transition SingularityNET into a decentralized platform and ecosystem, the SCDAO Task Force stands as a triumvirate of expertise, collaboration, and vision.

The next step in the formation of the SCDAO Task Force is choosing five domain experts.

Working with domain experts

In these next steps of decentralization and creation of SCDAO, five domain experts will form part of the Task Force that will help design the decentralization Blueprint over the course of the following 6 months.

Domain experts will include a wide variety of industry professionals and thought leaders, experienced in the areas of decentralization, organization, community development, AI development, tokenomics, distributed governance, design processes, the legalities of DAOs, and more. These experts will be selected by the Task Force after the elections.

The domain experts will contribute their experience and skills, and their primary responsibilities will be to aid the Supervisory Council and Foundation members in creating the decentralization Blueprint.

Collaborate with the community on the new DAO

We recognize the vast pool of ideas, skills, and varied perspectives within the SingularityNET community and ecosystem. That’s why the Supervisory Council will collaborate with the community and give everyone a platform to share their insights and suggestions on the DAO’s development.

The three-member SC will represent the community and take the initiative to consult, inform and engage the wider community. The SC will also communicate with the other SCDAO Task Force groups and report to the community on all activities and outcomes.

Setting the stage for the Decentralization Blueprint

The Decentralization Blueprint will outline SingularityNET’s path towards a decentralized future. It will create a roadmap for our progress in important areas such as governance dynamics between the Community and Foundation, financial governance, community relations framework, and more.

Through the newly elected Supervisory Council, you are engaged in the actual crafting of the Decentralization Blueprint. The SC consults, informs, and seeks *your* feedback on the blueprint’s development and ensures that progress aligns with the community’s interests and aspirations.

Ultimately, it’s you, the community, that plays a pivotal role in the creation of the Decentralization Blueprint. From representation to feedback, oversight, communication, and decision-making, you are integrally involved in shaping the future direction of SingularityNET.

We thank you for being a part of the election process. Your involvement strengthens our democratic foundation, and it is heartening to witness community members like you stepping forward to make a difference.

The Deep Funding Round 3 results are live — learn which projects were awarded.

Deep Funding is also making massive strides in our collaborative mission of progressive decentralization. With the highest rewards ever, double the number of proposals, and great progress in the new RFP-based approach, Deep Funding Round 3 was a landmark success.

It featured over 120 proposals, and after the hard work of all proposers, the review teams, and the community, we have finally arrived at the most exciting moment of all: the announcement of the 43 awarded teams that will share the funding that we had to offer in this round. Learn which projects have been awarded on the Deep Funding blog.
