1. Your AIP proposes “a voting schedule that starts every Wednesday at 6am PST (2pm HKT) and ends every Sunday at 6am PST (2pm HKT).” 6am PST (currently PDT) would be 9pm HKT. Please clarify your proposed schedule.
“voting schedule that starts every Wednesday at 1pm UTC (6am PST/9am EST/9pm HKT) and ends every Sunday at 1pm UTC (6am PST/9am EST/9pm HKT) .”
2. Would the Snapshot voting period follow PST throughout the year and observe daylight savings, or would it continue to be synchronized with HKT?
Clarified UTC to account for daylight savings.
3. Your Steps to Implement includes the “The assignment of AIP ID numbers will take place after proposals have been finally approved to move on to the Live voting stage.” DAO-accepted AIP-401 states “An RFP Recommendation entering Draft phase shall be awarded an RFP Recommendation # consistent with the rules governing how AIP #s are awarded.” Do you intend for this proposal ID assignment tenet to apply to the RFP process as well?
Yes, based on how 401 is written, it seems the intention of that author would also be for the ID assignment to mirror whatever the approved process is for AIP ID # assignment.
4. “The assignment of AIP ID numbers will take place after proposals have been finally approved to move on to the Live voting stage.” Please add this to your Proposal Description.
“This proposal suggests shortening and standardizing the voting cycle for Ape Improvement Proposals (AIPs) in the ApeCoin ecosystem. The proposed changes include reducing the voting period from 14 days to 4 days and establishing a voting schedule that starts every Wednesday at 1pm UTC (6am PST/9am EST/9pm HKT) and ends every Sunday at 1pm UTC (6am PST/9am EST/9pm HKT). The assignment of AIP ID numbers would take place after proposals have been approved to move on to the Live voting stage, aiming to increase the value of each AIP ID # for accepted authors. Additionally, this proposal suggests making the mandatory 7-day AIP Idea phase optional for all authors, clarifying that critical community discussion and material updates to proposals are still expected to occur during the Draft stage.”
5. Your proposal states “APE Foundation will still reserve the right to modify voting periods at its discretion (e.g. emergencies, risks to the DAO, etc.) with reasonable notice to the community and for non-AIPs (e.g. elections).”, is your suggestion that this new voting period also be applied to elections?
No, this is clarifying that the existing authority of the Foundation would be unchanged.
6. Please revise your Team Members section, as specified by the AIP Draft Template and AIP-121, it will be compulsory to provide a description of team members (a brief “CV”, previous experiences in Web2 &/or Web3).
[Updated]
7. Please revise your Overall Cost section, as specified by the AIP Draft Template.
[Updated]
9. Do you provide consent to apply updates to the relevant areas of your proposal based on your responses to the questions above?
Yes.
10. Do you provide consent to share these questions and answers with the community in this forum?
