Voting to suspend Brantly Millegan for his Catholic views is likely to fail, with 45% against suspension and 15% abstaining. Voting is on a one-token-one-vote basis, with Millegan allowed to cast his own vote. Milegan, given his assets, is the largest voter so far.
Nick Johnson, founder and lead developer of ENS, who fired Millegan from True Names, decided to abstain from voting. Before Johnson fired Millegan, the ENS founder was a supporter.
“I’ve never seen Brantley disrespect anyone,” Johnson had previously stated.
Millegan was the head of the Cayman Islands-registered ENS Foundation, the legal entity behind the distributed autonomous organization (DAO) of the same name.
Initially, the decision to fire Millegan was met with some hostility from the ENS community. Community members saw the irony of a decentralized service condemning someone for their religious beliefs. In addition, some of the community members who were most active in advocating for Millegan’s resignation posted similar messages on Twitter and seemed to share the fired manager’s traditionalist beliefs.
As a reminder, in early February, Millegan, a major contributor to the Etherium name service, was dismissed from his position as manager of ENS DAO and True Names for a Twitter post reflecting his traditionalist Catholic views.
Back in 2017, the Etherium Domain Name System (ENS) was one of the industry’s fastest-growing projects, with nearly $2 million in ethers frozen, which at current exchange rates is just over $420 million. In January 2021, a cryptocurrency fraud specialist claimed that the co-founder of the DeFi Wonderland protocol under the nickname Sifu could be the former co-founder of the infamous Canadian exchange QuadrigaCX, Michael Patryn. After that, users of the project held a vote to remove Patryn from his position. Patryn was dismissed despite the active defense of Project Wonderland founder Daniele Sestagalli.
