What process does the DFINITY foundation use to vote on NNS proposals?

Governance

@diegop I wanted to follow up regarding this blog post that was mentioned by Jan and the several members two months ago (March) with respect to the details behind the voting process of the DFINITY neuron.

I saw the DFINITY Foundation’s approach to voting on Governance proposals post that was posted April 1st which addresses the why behind the votes cast by DFINITY, but it still doesn’t give any visibility into the process behind how those votes end up being cast.

I therefore put together this list of questions that would satisfy my curiosity and potential concerns:

  1. Is there a single DFINITY neuron and then group of DFINITY board members that each have neurons controlling that neuron, similar to the structure that the ICP Maximalist neuron?

  2. How many people at DFINITY are involved in the voting decision making behind the what the DFINITY neuron does?

  3. What types of proposals have been/will be proposed by the DFINITY neuron?

  4. Does the DFINITY neuron have a script for automating its votes on certain proposals (i.e. exchange rate), or is all voting manual? If some votes are automated, which votes are manual and which votes are automated? What does the automation code/script look like?

  5. Is there a deliberation room in which those in charge of governance vote, and then give you a PR statement of the reasoning behind that vote (on the forums)?

  6. Is the default follow DFINITY neuron controlled by a single person?

  7. How many people at DFINITY are responsible for control of the DFINITY neuron - will their identities be made public or remain private?
