Hello!
After an intense application process, the grants committee [has voted](https://snapshot.org/#/s:grants.ssvnetwork.eth/proposal/0x168499ba73d07d64790d1de48b014543a61518bbac2915686568ed1516491d9e) to add the individual @chuygarcia to take on the role as a Grants Committee member, and to complete the composition of the Grants Committee described in [[DIP-47] Grant Program, GC, and OC Committee Revisions #1](https://forum.ssv.network/t/dip-47-grant-program-gc-and-oc-committee-revisions-1/2070). Chuy takes over the SSV Foundation’s interim seat, starting on the 1st of March 2026.
**Chuy** is a DappNode Community Manager and has demonstrated the skills and attitude this role requires during his interview with the committee.
According to the protocol, the community has 7 days to express objections before Chuy can be voted in.
Thank you very much!
—Ben
