Onchain Proposals 
1. Delegate to Voter Enfranchisement Pool — Event Horizon (voting ends on Sept 13)
- The EventHorizon team is proposing that the DAO delegates (not grant) 7,000,000 ARB to a public access-voter block subject to a non-optimistic 1-year renewal.
- Rather than the block voting based on the decision of one individual, the public access-voter block votes with the collective cognition of hundreds of individual voter pass holders. It provides a clear and designated voice for smaller, citizen voters, and drives participation through a game-theoretic process called Implicit Delegation.
- In addition to the delegation, the EventHorizon team is requesting for 200k ARB to maintain this public good for 1 year in addition to retroactively awarding the team for the fully-functional product. It also requested a separate 125K ARB grant for the 5 member Oversight Committee, however this will now be returned to the DAO (as this Snapshot to replace the Oversight Committee with the MSS for all related capacities and responsibilities, has passed).

2. Upgrade Governor Contracts by Transfering Timelock Roles to the New Governors (voting starts on Sept 13)
- This proposal will transfer the ‘proposer’ and ‘canceller’ roles from the current Arbitrum Core Governor and Arbitrum Treasury Governor to newly deployed Governor contracts.
- This upgrade was initially discussed as part of the Expand Tally Support for the Arbitrum DAO proposal, during which the community recognized the need for enhanced governance features, including proposal cancellation (allowing the delegate who submitted a proposal to cancel it during the delay phase) and flexible voting (enabling delegates to cast rolling, fractional votes, supporting future innovations like voting from Orbit chains and more).
- Accordingly, new Governor contracts have been developed and deployed with these improvements. To activate these enhancements and complete the upgrade process, the DAO needs to transfer the proposer role to these new contracts.
- This proposal has a longer than usual L1 timelock delay of 10 days, so the existing governors can still be used for proposing until the voting period of this proposal has ended.
