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.
