PIP-61: Increase Quorum Threshold

Vote: For

Rationale:

Based on our feedback on the original forum post, we are in favor of a general increase in the quorum threshold because it increases the difficulty with which proposals can pass, thereby calling for more scrutiny in analyzing votes. The impetus for this is largely the recent uptick in DAO activity from the DIP and further distribution of voting power.

@AranaDigital

The rationale behind this proposal makes sense, and we would be in support of implementing the higher quorum threshold. In an effective governance system, quorum should not be easy to reach—but it should simultaneously prevent stagnation in being able to pass proposals simply due to voter apathy. The current 2% mark is clearly too low. We think anywhere between 6-8% as of today would be a satisfactory earmark.

The DIP should reasonably help prevent voter apathy over the next handful of months. We have also seen new delegates register their comms platforms, indicating more eyes on the forums and therefore a higher likelihood of proposals reaching quorum.
