(2021-01-07) Decentralized Court Aragon Hit With Flurry Of Resignations

'Decentralized Court' Aragon Hit With Flurry of Resignations. Twelve staffers involved in the Aragon Network announced their resignations Thursday because of its apparent lack of financial transparency.

In a letter posted on GitHub and shared in the group’s Discord channel, AA governance lead John Light said he was leaving

Light’s resignation was then followed by 11 other public resignations of staffers of Aragon One, the for-profit firm leading the protocol’s development. Almost every resignation post in the project’s Discord channel was linked to Light’s letter.

The mass exodus of Aragon developers was preceded by some 52,000 in ether (ETH) from the project’s 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) moving onto various exchanges on Dec. 15 and Dec. 22.

while Light was employed by the Aragon Association, the 11 other resignees were employed by Aragon One.

John Light post

I have resigned from my post at the Aragon Association

The Aragon Association has a reputation for transparency, which I think was well-deserved in the past but has been lacking as of late.

A good step toward improvement would be for the Aragon Association to publish all meeting minutes and financials for public review

Another good step would be to involve ANT holders and contributors more in Association governance.
