I’ve taken the time to thoroughly review these. Going so far as to print out the two proposals, highlighting concerns & questions, even asking opinions from others on certain topics.
I am happy with the proposed process because:
- It is clearly written & easily amendable in the future
- Nomination profile & plan for forum use is agreeable
- The timeline fits perfectly w/ AIP-113’s extension
I have a couple of items that I would like considered to be added. If not immediately, then perhaps through amendment or additional proposal.
- Nominees should have participation history in the governance of Apecoin
- Removal of an elected member should be addressed now or in the near future
Through the use Discourse’s level system, nominees should be minimum level 2. That means they’ve read a few proposals, & they’ve commented on a few things. Additionally, I recommend accepting only comments from level 2 users on the threads.
The requirements for participation in this area of governance could be:
Get to trust level 2 by…
- Visiting at least 15 days, not sequentially
- Casting at least 1 like
- Receiving at least 1 like
- Replying to at least 3 different topics
- Entering at least 20 topics
- Reading at least 100 posts
- Spend a total of 60 minutes reading posts]
While I understand that these restrictions could cause uninformed potential nominees to be ineligible, I believe that this will encourage more members to join as general participants in our DAO, then they can earn eligibility on the next election cycle. I want leaders that are comfortable reading proposals & interacting with the community. That starts by participating here w/ everyone else!
Elections twice a year already could be disruptive to operations, but a member who has a spent at least the above on the forums will understand the community that they are nominating themselves to lead.
