Hi Areta team - nice, thank you for your introduction!
one thing that’s nice is that becoming a CoW DAO delegate as such is without a gatekeeper: You can tailor your Statement here on your CoW DAO Snapshot space
One thing you can do right away is start voting, of course, to emphasise being a self-motivated delegate 
Then additionally to that, there is what we call “recognised delegate”, which is basically a delegate that someone from the Grants Committee has soft vetted. Here is the entry on the role description (+ the conditions such as 10k COW voting tokens put up themselves to signal incentive and motivation alignment) and then there is the respective thread for the Grant Committee’s review (available here).
Happy to answer questions
