That’s an interesting development @Arximedis & @DeanMachine, would’ve been great if we could’ve discussed this prior to voting in the [Discussion] though.
I chose 10 after looking at our previous proposals. I tend to lean towards a higher threshold as Arximedis suggested but I also can see your point, Dean. We can’t have it that good proposals aren’t implemented due to a lack of voting participants. That’s why I opted to count abstentions towards the threshold. I generally think that DAO members can be expected to at least read proposals with ongoing voting and if they can’t decide, they can abstain. If they fear that abstention isn’t the right choice and that the proposal isn’t a good idea, they can reject it.
At some point, we need to have a quorum-based element in our decision-making process and one can always argue that this will potentially impede some proposals due to not reaching the threshold. But that is that’s exactly why there is a threshold is in place. If not enough people care to at least read a proposal + abstain, then we have a different problem that needs to be addressed.
What we could do is implement the 10-vote-threshold as a requirement for DAO proposals only and don’t have it in subDAO votes. Would this be something that accommodates and addresses both of your concerns?
