Hi, I signed up and would like access to propose! TY

Official announcement for Reti Pooling users about Governance Period 15

Algorand governance is not a protocol. It’s a single off-chain script that scrapes the indexer, tallies balances, and writes to a database that only the Foundation has access to.
