Hey, everyone!

Phunky here. Although I doubt there is anyone who does not know Leemo, I hope that you don't mind while I enumerate the reasons he is deserving of this tip from our entire community:

1) Virtually anyone within the walls of ChaosDAO will attest that Leemo was the impetus and driving force for our strong pivot toward OpenGov. He quickly realized its promise and began attempting to educate others about the new system before it launched on Kusama. This was his first "[long-winded explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcqOTNzmGr0)". You can also see additional videos demystifying concepts such as the decision period.

2) He has been a long time educator about our entire ecosystem, as it was many of his videos (along with Tommi's and Jay's) that I was watching in the early part of 2021. This adds to the credibility of my position that this reward is long overdue.

3) Beyond his role as Chief Nice Officer for Novasama Technologies, anyone who knows Leemo personally knows he is a true gem, always willing to help others and constantly encouraging people to get involved in our ecosystem and its novel OpenGov mechanism for on-chain decisions

On a final note, I will admit that I consider Leemo a very good friend and thereby my judgment is biased. But I believe he has consistently demonstrated his capacity for leadership in our ecosystem. In my mind, he is the epitome of what it means to be an "Ecosystem Agent" and it is for these reasons, as well as those above, that I hope you consider a vote of AYE to offer this small token of recognition for an all around gigachad.

Gratefully,

Phunky
