# Background 
As part of an ongoing effort to incentivise neurons to verify proposals in depth, voting neuron grants will be provided for candidates selected by the community. Overall, 2 candidates are selected for each of 7 proposal topics. **This is one of multiple motion proposals submitted today to select these candidates**: 

- one NNS motion proposal is submitted for each candidate and topic for which the candidate applied  

- for each proposal, the result is computed as the number of YES minus the number of no votes (#YES-#NO). Proposals that are not adopted are not considered.

- for each topic, the 2 candidates with the highest results get the grants 

You can read more about the motivation and the process [here](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/voting-neuron-grants-season-2). 

# Proposal Topic 
Application Canister Management

# Is this a team grant application? 
yes

# [CO.DELTA △](https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/neuron/33138099823745946) - Application Canister Management

### Voting Neuron Grant Application

* **Topic:** Application Canister Management
* **Total Team Size:** 9
* **Specialist Team Size:** 3
* **We’re different △** - verifiably decentralised, high quality, publicly shared proof of due diligence, provided by experienced members of the community, for the community. CO.DELTA has no hierarchy. All team members are co-owners of the neuron, the fund dispersal canister, and all other aspects. This is enforced by threshold consensus. Each specialist sub-team within CO.DELTA thereby acts as a distinct entity covering their respective topic.

### Specialist Team Members

#### Name:

Ethan Gregory Celletti (Gekctek)

#### Applied Topic(s):

**Application Canister Management**

#### Why Application Canister Management:

I have deeper expertise and hands-on experience with application-level canisters compared to lower-level protocol or systems work. My focus on building comprehensive Motoko libraries and full-stack IC applications gives me practical understanding of canister lifecycle management, resource optimization, and common deployment challenges developers face.

* Motoko library portfolio: [Mops • Motoko Package Manager](https://mops.one/search/owner:gekctek)

#### About me:

Freelance Motoko developer focused on building robust library infrastructure to mature the Motoko ecosystem. Decade of Web2 fullstack experience, now working full-time on IC ecosystem development. I want to contribute to governance because I recognize the critical importance of strong institutions in decentralized systems and want to help shape something I fundamentally believe in. My goal is building independent institutions that can collaborate with rather than depend solely on Dfinity.

I’m committed to rigorous governance processes - proper procedures must be followed, declared changes must match implementations, and decentralization remains the highest priority. I believe rejection of proposals is necessary when standards aren’t met, as shortcuts today create worse precedents tomorrow.

#### Name:

Gautier Wojda

#### Applied Topic(s):

IC OS Elections, **Application Canister Management**, Service Nervous System Management, Protocol Canister Management

### Why Application Canister Management:

I’ve built and audited numerous backend canisters, including complex services that use stable memory, chunked data, token standards, and indexing. I’ve reviewed some DFINITY projects and community libraries (like asset canisters, ICRC interfaces, etc).
I’m also closely working with frontend eng for Goldao and Origyn, and even if I’m not frontend specialist, I know how it work/can review for security purpose those topics.

[Icrc7 announce](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/announcing-icrc7-icrc37-a-complete-nft-implementation-for-the-internet-computer/48578)

#### About me:

I’m a backend and infrastructure specialist with 7+ years of experience. I’m currently co-CTO of GoldDAO and Origyn, and I manage Dfinity nodes for Extragone and DEF. My past work includes kernel development (FreeBSD bootloader/kernel security) and cybersecurity. I’ve been building on the IC for 2+ years, mostly with Rust, and sometimes Motoko.

Notable contributions:

Latest and biggest contribution to IC is the first production ready ICRC7 & ICRC37 NFT implementation, but i also worked on a lot of different subjects for dfinity. Check my profile for more (icrc3 and stuff like that)

### Name:

Malith Hatanachchige

### Topics Applied:

Participant Management & Node Admin
Subnet management & API BN Management
**Application Canister Management**

### Why Application Canister Management

With 13+ years in software and infrastructure, and two years actively contributing to ICP, I bring both the technical knowledge and operational discipline needed for reviewing and voting application canisters. As a Subnet Management & API BN reviewer and a node provider, I understand the real-world impact of application canister changes. My approach combines automated fact-checking with manual verification, making sure proposals move forward without delays while protecting the network’s integrity.

### About me:

Hi, I’m Malith. I’ve been working in software and infrastructure for over 13 years, across everything from frontend/backend development to AI/ML and large-scale infrastructure for Web2, Web3, and AI inference workload. I’ve been part of the ICP community for the past two years, contributing by building useful tools for node providers, actively participating in the AI Technical Working Group, and operating as a node provider covering the South Asia region. And, as a Subnet Management & API BN Management reviewer, I’ve reviewed over 120 proposals.

My voting principle has always been to respond quickly, even if it’s to reject, while keeping my decisions fair and focused on the long term, so people can move forward with their tasks faster. To support this, I’ve built automation tools to handle background fact checking and research, which I then manually double check. Before casting my vote, I make it a point to consider the bigger picture.

In the blockchain industry as a whole, ICP is setting a strong precedent for driving mass market adoption of DApps, and the progress so far has been remarkable. I believe that supporting ICP by ensuring the safety and integrity of the community is crucial, as it allows the core team to focus on advancing the ICP and accelerating meaningful change.

I have been continuously contributing to the community, and I intend to maintain the same effort beyond the grant period.
