Brantly Millegan will remain as the director of the Cayman-registered Ethereum Name Service Foundation after a vote to remove him failed.
-
This drama began in early February after a 2016 tweet surfaced where Millegan expressed views condemning homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion and other issues.
-
In the end, the results were 43.39% against Millegan’s removal, 37.51% for it, and 19% abstaining.

The ENS Foundation is the legal representation of the DAO.
-
ENS token holders were eligible to vote. Each token held represented one vote.
-
Nick Johnson, founder and lead developer of ENS, who fired Millegan from True Names Ltd, a company owned by the foundation to manage the code development, abstained from voting, according to on-chain data.
-
In the past, Johnson had said he was a supporter of Millegan, tweeting that he had “never seen Brantly treat anyone as different or lesser because of who they are.”
-
After the vote concluded, Millegan wrote that he believes “ENS is for everyone” and he looks forward to getting back to work in building ENS.
