PROPOSAL: [OP-PIP-118: 5th Pythian Council Approval | Pyth Governance](https://v2.realms.today/dao/4ct8XU5tKbMNRphWy4rePsS9kBqPhDdvZoGpmprPaug4/proposal/F1YegRVW8DnpUSR639rXrv8WbzoGQoZnfUnHBY34EtTo)

**1. Approve the 5th Pythian Council**

As explained in the [Guide for the 5th Pythian Council Election](https://forum.pyth.network/t/guide-for-the-5th-pythian-council-election/2531), 4 seats were available for election. The 4 members automatically re-elected based on tenure are:

- George M — XBTO

- Yaser Jazouane — Douro Labs

- GrizzlyLand — Pyth Network Chiron

- Frozenmind — Pythenians

Over 2 weeks, there have been exactly 4 nominations for the Pythian Council. Therefore, the competitive election could be avoided and we proceed directly to DAO approval via token vote.

**The 4 nominees are:**

```auto
| Candidate | Organization | Nomination | Wallet |
| -------------------- | --------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Marc Tillement | Pyth Data Association | Forum | 9sfogFjG8CJKJGWvNDB7NgPusALti3hWKkHGZhKmmxD7 |
| Jayant Krishnamurthy | Douro Labs | Forum | 3ouXHhNH6QgyxDRLmjgCddbTqYBkPSufLiLgTp2BVy2p |
| Ivo Galic | Trebuchet Network | Forum | 77hQtJXZYhK6WpqauHxwVP2SNYjE5yirtTWHn7Q8tufB |
| Saad Majdaoui | Pyth Network Chiron | Forum | BMU13MZtSmNyfEEftoCgyFKrcFdVJkmfRUpAsFru6tut |

```

**Practically, the 1 exiting council member is:**

- dr497 — Accretion _(did not meet 33% participation threshold)_

**2. Distribute the Pythian Council Member stipend**

As previously approved, 12,500 PYTH must be distributed to each council member that met the activity threshold. You can find the participation tracking [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TWZdy6NWTNNo74HoLLGSI6D3CIIMELbn7Wlb48sE_Jk/edit?usp=sharing).

7 of 8 council members surpassed the 1/3 activity threshold and will each receive 12,500 PYTH:

```auto
| Member | Organization | Participation | Eligible |
| -------------------- | --------------------- | ------------- | -------- |
| Marc Tillement | Pyth Data Association | 92.31% | ✅ |
| Frozenmind | Pythenians | 84.62% | ✅ |
| GrizzlyLand | Pyth Network Chiron | 76.92% | ✅ |
| George M | XBTO | 69.23% | ✅ |
| Jayant Krishnamurthy | Douro Labs | 61.54% | ✅ |
| Yaser Jazouane | Douro Labs | 53.85% | ✅ |
| Ivo Galic | Trebuchet Network | 46.15% | ✅ |
| dr497 | Accretion | 15.38% | ❌ |

```

**3. Approve the stipend continuation**

If approved, the 12,500 PYTH per member stipend will be paid out when the 6th Pythian Council is introduced in 6 months.

#### Implementation Plan

Verify the instructions of the onchain DAO proposal to ensure that the below actions are performed:

**1. Remove the wallet of the 1 council member that is off-boarded:**

-\> `9ATt1c3ZX1zMeVaN12dXtMhrX6TpBG8V5bqwjgsV9bt3`

**2. Add the wallet of the 1 new council member:**

-\> `BMU13MZtSmNyfEEftoCgyFKrcFdVJkmfRUpAsFru6tut`

_Note: Marc Tillement, Jayant Krishnamurthy, and Ivo Galic are re-nominating with their existing wallets — no change required._

**3. Distribute 12,500 PYTH to each of the 7 council members entitled to the stipend:**

-\> `9sfogFjG8CJKJGWvNDB7NgPusALti3hWKkHGZhKmmxD7`
