Hi mate - perfect this is exactly what I wanted to see.
-
The 6.3m figure was a rough average of the biggest three recent voters (moca6.3, horizenlabs6.7 & polygon6) really I would make it 6.33m. But certainly open to input here. Thing I kept getting hung up on is polygon vote and horizenlabs are new voters compared to mocaverse - will they continue to vote or just when it involves themselves in some respect? So maybe 6.3 would then be as balance to the moca vote really. It’s a bit of both - to add balance and give back some resemblance of a valid voice at voting to the most dedicated people at the DAO over the years. As a side note we wouldn’t exclude anyone from joining as long as they meet the criteria and I think Marc from polygon would qualify, so would Yat and other active moca people and so would Herve and horizen.
-
I had thought about this and Evil mentioned it - what happens if Yat increase their wallet? I’d have to ask why would they do this, if they did it would be troubling imo, as the reason they increased last time (and still haven’t reverted back) was to counter MACHI vote. So Tl;dr is I see no reason for them to do this as we’d be equal. But if they did, thing is Yat knows we have more apecoin, I’m sure he’s not going to want a bags war, but yes in that instance I would apply for additional funding to match their vote. Remember, less than three wallets control the mocaverse vote, that could be as little as three people, but from what I know it’s anywhere from 3-20 people who are active (likely single digits imo). We on the other hand would have anywhere from 500-1000 people qualifying to be a part of the community wallet vote.
-
The criteria would be as inclusive as possible for a seat at the table and have a 1 person = 1 vote in the community wallet. We’d use Trust level 2 (this means even those who have contributed the absolute minimum can have a voice), I’ll probably add in others such as have voted three times over three voting periods (as not everyone is on discourse), also maybe inject there that their wallet $ape balance must have been over 100ape (to cut out bots and alts from applying). Maybe also we would say another way would be 10 discord posts over 10 separate days (GM and drink water and thank ape farming posts would not count). Basically very simple stuff - we want as many people to feel as empowered as possible.
In regards to people who delegate their votes to moca for example. So let’s explain this so people understand what we are talking about. They have delegated their 12.5k asset to someone from the “discord list” provided in the mocaDAO channel, and potentially then just walked away, they hold no apecoin more than likely and they have not participated in the apecoin forum, discord and hold no ape as mentioned - so no they will certainly not qualify to join. Qualifying criteria will be set very low, if they haven’t contributed in the most tiniest way to our DAO then ofc they will not be admitted. This goes for all delegations, however, most people who have delegated their actual apecoin will qualify as they have a wallet balance of X amount (I will determine a valid figure here).
Hope that covers everything.
Implementation:
Wanted to just write a quick tl;dr - We will make an application form that apecoin will retweet a few times, leave it open for a week, we will then check the list and compile a complete one for community perusal and approval - everything will be done transparently with community oversight.
It will probably be a new discord channel, approved applicatants will be given a role, every two weeks the GWG or FACILITATORS will copy paste the snapshot summaries and links, and each member gets one vote.
We may start with simple emoji discord vote and then more onto a snapshot style with maybe some kind of soulbound nft.
Everything will be simple. At zero cost. And the end goal is if we have 300 people for example each person will then in essence have a voice equalling 21K $ape. They don’t have to do anything, they can just vote every two weeks. Majority vote wins and will be executed and posted to vote I think by the SECRETARY. We will set a minimum threshold, so less than 25% of members vote it’s invalid and we do not vote.
This will also drive people to the discord. We can have documented DURING VOTE discussions if people wish. There are many many benefits and best of all people will once again feel like their voice matters as they are a part of a 6.3m apecoin voting power. 
Last point - no one is excluded, facilitators, stewards, SC etc etc - if you qualify you are welcome to a vote. We want the most active and passionate members in here, this includes Machi, Yat, etc etc. Our goal is to give a valid voice at voting to the people of the DAO, not to create some exclusive club - in a way also will be a way to heal the divide we are seeing more of lately in the community.
Thanks as always. LFG
