Send a FIO Request from any FIO-enabled wallet that has FIO Request functionality to boardvote@fio for any amount of FIO (the FIO won't be sent to you so the amount doesn't matter) from the FIO Handle which is owned by an account where you have FIO tokens you would like to vote. If your wallet does not support FIO Request, you may transfer your tokens to one that does including the FIO App.
Include in the memo the candidate ID from list aboveof each candidate for which you wish to vote, separated by commas (e.g., 25,21,22). The order is not important.
Do not include any other information in your memo.
You can vote on maximum of 8 candidates. If your vote contains more candidates, only the first 8 will be considered.
If your vote contains invalid candidates or information, it will be ignored.
If you are proxying your tokens they will be counted towards your proxies vote weight and your direct Board vote will be ignored! Remember that if you staked your tokens they may have been automatically proxied. To stop proxying, you must vote for block producers.
If you have multiple FIO accounts you will need to send a FIO Request from each separately to vote each of those accounts. However, if you have multiple FIO Crypto Handles registered to the same FIO Account (private key) you only need to vote with one of those FIO Crypto Handles.
You may update/change your vote at anytime just by sending a new FIO Request with your new voting preferences.
How the Votes are Counted
Your vote issue will be manually created and will show up in Board Vote Tracking | Raw Votes including the voting power (Current weight in FIO). The issue may not be created until after the election day.
Your voting power will be counted based on the number of FIO Tokens you held on the day of the election.
If you are staking tokens they will be counted in voting.
If your tokens are locked, they may not be counted based on the following criteria:
Genesis locks
- Minimum 30% of initial grant is votable, rest is votable after unlock
The initial members were appointed from the pool of early industry participants in the FIO Protocol and served until one year after Mainnet launch. Starting April 15th, 2021, and then every four months thereafter, the Board conducts an ongoing poll among token holders for Board Member candidates and appoints new members from the pool of top 12 candidates by number of votes received.
The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors of up to nine members.
One FIO Board member is a Cayman representative appointed by the other FIO Board Members.
The remaining up to 8 FIO Board members are selected by the existing board from a list of the top candidates which receive the most votes from FIO token holders.
Board members are compensated based on compensation set by the Board which is made public to the FIO community.
