PIP-65 - Enhancing Predictability in VeloraDAO Governance

Governance Proposals
21

Hi @Curia ,

I have seen that you have shared the proposal on snapshot: https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x0b23b2c32ef806eb61746af13148be0757f94bb7b9157f47b028f38608fa7fdc

However , the current proposal follows neither the established PIP format, and as such cannot enter the frozen period either ( PIP-57 - PIP Lifecycle Improvements ). As it stands , the current format only makes the proposal count as research.

With regards to the voting times, while I appreciate the predictability, I have to disagree with introducing this as a strict rule simply because it would essentially extend many proposals in an unintuitive manner. This is something we saw proposed before in the prior iteration of the governance framework ( PSP-IPĪ”33 : Governance framework and parameters adjustments ) with introducing Tuesday as a vote date, and it simply introduced governance friction.

In a way, the proposal could extend de-facto many voting times to a minimum of 13 days. Currently, there is a minimum 7 calendar day discussion period. However, if someone were to post their proposal for the first time on a Friday, this would essentially extend the minimum debate period for another week. This could especially be frustrating for users new to governance, as it would limit accessibility for the DAO.

Because of this, I think an informal agreement among delegates would be sufficient to accomplish the goals established here.

Regarding the holiday break, I think this is a good idea, but would not push a proposal for just a one week break a year personally, especially when forum activity will naturally go down on this period. Perhaps it could be included in a future proposal, or amended into PIP-XX - Deprecation of the Governance Committee ?

Hi @0xYtocin,

Thanks for flagging this. My apologies for the confusion and for posting the proposal on Snapshot prematurely. Youā€™re right, the closing of the debate period and the start of the frozen period havenā€™t been announced yet, and voting isnā€™t ready to begin.

Iā€™ve canceled the current Snapshot proposal. Iā€™ll be sure to post the announcement for the start of the 2-day frozen period on the forum shortly. After that, Iā€™ll resubmit the proposal to Snapshot, ensuring it fully complies with the PIP format, just as it did in the forum. I understand the Snapshot submission also needs to adhere to the template.

Thanks for your guidance.

Hey everyone, just a heads-up that the debate phase for the proposal is now officially closed.

Weā€™re now entering a 2-day frozen period, starting today. During this time, weā€™ll be preparing for the Snapshot vote.

Thanks for all your valuable input during the proposal discussion!

Thanks @0xYtocin simple and easy digestable argument, I am fully onboard with the idea of having a delegates mutual agreement on this without requiring vote.
