Referendum 3️⃣ for creation of the Technical Committee, as part of OpenGov on Moonriver, is up to vote! Committee consists of members with technical knowledge of Moonriver/Moonbeam & has power to whitelist proposals on the WL track.

🗳️ Vote: https://moonriver.polkassembly.network/referenda/3

The Technical Committee serves to help make well-informed decisions on a technical basis. It also helps safeguard the network in the case a proposal moves to referendum that is not technically sound, or there is an immediate need for a network upgrade that must be fast-tracked. Members of the committee are subject to governance and can be added or removed from through governance in the Root Track.

📖 Learn more about the TC’s role in governance: https://moonbeam.network/announcements/opengov-moonriver/
