Blockworks Research will be voting FOR this proposal on Tally.
Increasing the lower threshold multisig to 9/12 appears to be the most straightforward way to maintain the Stage 1 classification. This change does not seem to intrinsically alter anything compared to the previous configuration, except for enhancing security without compromising agility, as 9 signers will always be required to perform an action.
We would like to thank @krst and @Sinkas for taking the initiative on this important topic and for working on creating a document that covers how putting together a proposal like this should be approached in the future.
