Sukesh Tedla — Candidacy Proposal— 2nd WAX OIG Elections

Background| Ideas | Motivation |

I would like my nomination to be considered for the WAX Inspector General position.

Let’s start with a bit of general background:

My name is Sukesh Kumar Tedla, I am a 26-year-old entrepreneur from Göteborg, Sweden, who is passionate about technology and doing something good for society. In my current role as CEO of startup Unbiased, I am driving the innovation of building ethical & transparent AI solutions that help fight complex technical & societal challenges like Fake News, Mis-Information, Bias in AI, ML & BigData.

I have a Masters’s Degree in Telecommunications and have more than 5 years of professional experience working in both technical and leadership roles. I am also currently serving as the Chairman of the Swedish Blockchain Association.

My EOSIO/WAX Journey:

I have been part of the EOSIO ecosystem since the announcement of Whitepaper. My team (EOSGreen)was one of the first to ever run EOSIO software, we were one of the groups who ran the first SuperHero testnet in this ecosystem. I am also one of the founding members of the Telos Blockchain Network as well.

Since day-1, I have been actively preaching about EOSIO capabilities across various organizations and channels.

I joined the WAX ecosystem as a Guild(GreenEOSIO). We are also one of the first teams to join the WAX Blockchain Network as a Guild. Since then, I have been actively engaging in the WAX Blockchain Scene with Guild operations, external-outreach, building Dapps, and tools.

My views on OIG:

As a guild operator, I have always tried to be vocal about the OIG evaluation framework. I had my fair share of arguments, angry exchanges too. But my intentions have always been to have a fair system where everyone is treated equally.

I think the OIG team serves a great purpose in identifying the best possible network managers. As the WAX ecosystem is growing at phenomenal speed there is an increasing demand for better governance practices that ensure objectivity, fairness, transparency, and unbiased analysis.

I believe and support the following principles:

1. OIG has to be as objective as possible in the evaluation process.
2. The main purpose of OIG is to Assist WAX Token holders in their guild voting decision-making.
3. OIG has to be communicative and engaging with guilds and the network.
4. OIG should evaluate guilds on a quality and reliability basis rather than just purely ticking the boxes. The different criterias have to be more based on reliability and engagement metrics.
5. Guilds who are also part of the OIG team shouldn’t earn any extra incentive with points.

Ideas/Proposals for Evaluation Framework:

• I want to propose changing the current technical operations evaluation to more reliability-based. For example: Measuring the up-time of API endpoints.
• I want to propose changing the current Product & Business Development evaluations to be based on a custom TRL evaluation system.
• I want to add a mandatory field for guilds to share marketing and outreach metrics.
• I also want to encourage more automated systems rather than manual processes.

That said, let me lay out why I would be ideal for the IG position:

• As a guild, I have first-hand experience of being on the other side. This experience will help me in my decision-making process and in building evaluation frameworks.
• I also possess technical experience in operating and managing guild nodes.
• The principles I standby.
• My past experiences and the value I can add to the WAX ecosystem with my network.
• My ideas and proposals as laid out in this article.
• My understanding of the problems and challenges in the OIG system.

Finally, I know there are a lot of concerns and obvious misaligned interests for a guild to be an IG. I fully respect that and here are my action points to address any potential concerns:

• If I am elected to be an IG, during my term, GreenEOSIO will not compete or actively pursue to be a Guild. The Team will cease its operations as a Guild with 30days' notice time.

Thanks for your time! Please vote and support the best IG for the role.
