The OP’s suggestion seems fine to me based on participation. Thank you for the good graphs and data.
If good proposals are struggling to get this level, bad ones would too. We want it to be easy to pass popular good proposals. My suggestions on quorum updates are just to consider making it harder for bad ones to pass.
Thanks for the tag!
Alternative
another idea or direction which may be more positive sum for the DAO but also more work to achieve the same outcome:
instead of lowering the threshold by ~22M votes, why dont we move 22M ARB from the treasury into 1/1 gnosis-safes controlled by the DAO. And use them to delegate to existing contributors.
100k to the top 200 current contributors? 200k to the top 100 contributors?
lower quorum while price is also lower means less resilience. more votes for engaged delegates means more resilience.
more on how this could work from another proposal made previously:
