Hey, I'm Bastian Köcher, a rank 6 Fellowship member. The Fellowship requires that members up to rank 6 apply for retention to stay at their rank; otherwise, they can be downgraded. Normally, these referendums are done within the Fellowship itself. To retain rank X, members of rank X+2 need to vote in favor of you. In my case, there are no members of rank 8+ who could vote for me. So, I need to use the Fellowship track to get approval from all the token holders.
At rank 6, I need to request retention every 6 months. This retention is for the time frame from March 2026 until September 2026.
These 6 months I started to ramp up my work on JAM. Mainly by working on the parachain-service design. Besides that I have helped setting up the M1 self test. And then I'm helping to interview the JAM teams for the M1 interviews.
Besides the work highlighted above, I'm also very active in maintaining the Fellowship runtimes repo by providing reviews, helping with releases, and proposing changes of my own. I'm also very active when it comes to on-chain voting in the Fellowship, such as opening retention and promotion proposals for many members. I have taken part in five in-person interview to promote fellowship members from rank two to rank three (the rank of a member, the first rank in which they get actual voting rights in the Fellowship).
Thank you!
