Who is @jakioi ...? :)

You spelled @arcange wrong I believe

You forgot to add me.

Thanks for stepping up!
Great list so far.
They've been mentioned below, but not on the list yet. @jesta and @lukestokes both have been around a long time and contributed a ton to Steem. They understand both the tech and the politics from a foundational perspective. Steem really needs their participation.
Glad to see Kevin there. Straight shooter, sharp, level head and outstanding integrity. 
It'd be nice to see @donkeypong here too. He's one of the old timer quiet strengths of the community and has been invaluable to many projects, while managing to avoid the drama. How does he do that?

Thankful to see @neoxian has already been nominated, he is the first one that came to mind for me and has my full confidence and support.

@llfarms 

thanks for grabbing the names so far.
I see that @crimsonclad has rightly so, brought up conflict of interest. I think this is hugely important and should not be dismissed so easily. If the intent is openness and impartial governance or at least, an impartial conduit in both directions, to and from the community at large, then both actual Conflict of Interest and the Appearance if it must be addressed.

I like seeing many mentioned so far, however, it's important that, there is buy in and acknowledgement form top witnesses and whales, that, voices all among the steem community need to be heard. Whales, Orca, Dolphins and yes, Minnows and Redfish. Without buy in and engagement at all levels, then, the voices and opinions become insular and often miss important views from the trenches.

A diverse group needs to be representative. Not merely the same names and same voices, and same opinions as always.

> These nominations are less for “who I think is great” and more for individuals that have the skills

That is a important objective in this endeavor, I think Whatsup  doesn't fall within the latter half.  She's great so don't get me wrong on that but she is the Gladce of Steemit and it just doesn't seem appropriate  from a professional stand point of all due seriousness of what you are trying to achieve here.  It takes all sorts of characters to make a site a success, she plays a integral part as far as that goes but most of what she writes goes under the category fun, funny, funniest  and drama, drama queen.  When I think of reading serious writings, professional writings or professionalism Whatsup isn't a go to for me in that regard but I surely love her for her ability to stir people's attention by coming up with weird, wacky and dramatic headlines to draw attention to her blog.

most of the guys I would suggest are mentioned above but we miss indeed @ats-david in this list / comment and @donkeypong - one of the guys who does good for the platform since I am here without any drama participation.  Fully backing up @kevinwong and my fellow Germans I can not tag all :-).

Thanks for your hard work!

Missing:
@alexvan and @felixxx

I'd love to see @scipio, creator of the @steem-ua project, added to this list. I believe he would be a great asset to this initiative.

Hi @llfarms, Travis from team Tasteem here and would be glad to be added as a nominee. Currently running tasteem.io and steeminside.kr (FYI, It's a KR steemit portal just launched a week ago lol). Not fully oriented with the details of how this foundation may be leading the community but It'd still be great if I can take my part in contributing to this BC.

Thank you so much to @d-vine, @enginewitty and @shadowspub for nominating me, but there are more than enough people far more able than me already on the nomination list.

@llfarms - please remove me from the nomination list. Thank you.

Well done. Love your skills.

As much as I appreciate the nominations, I don't think I would have the amount of time necessary to devote to such a thing. The fairness @bluefinstudios speaks on below in the comments is suffice enough for me to say - please remove my name as he is definitely worthy of a seat and brings similar views as I.

Okay, wow, that was a lot of reading I've done in here... Caught up now. 

The folk I nominate: 

@shredz7 (his technical tutorials are awesome, maybe he can help with foundation dev tutorials)
@nicniezgrublem (might be too busy with Engrave, but I'd say its one of the most promising projects)
@crypto.piotr (May or may not be technically-inclined, but very supportive and active in the community)
@yabapmatt (really suprised he's not on there... A+ witness)

Not out to nominate myself or anything for any decision making position, but I am happy to assist in some small way if needed. I would be happy to write out transcripts of meetings or communicate the foundation's activities or plans to the community on steemit.

I note several names are listed more than once, @pfunk, @dragosroua, more too, I think.  It might make it easier to avoid dupes if you arrange the list alphabetically.

This list is nominations for the initial working group?

Thanks very, very much!
