Delegate to a public access, public good citizen enfranchisement pool through Event Horizon

We are in favor of a proposal like this as it provides a possible onboarding pathway to new users in the Arbitrum ecosystem. DAOs typically have users that bootstrap their own voting power over time, but we need to ask ourselves how sustainable of a process this is/if it truly contributes to decentralization. While Arbitrum DAO is certainly one of the most active DAOs with the most participants, it also suffers from an onboarding problem. Our only question for this proposal is if this will affect delegate incentives in some manner/will these individuals in the voter enfranchisement pool be eligible for delegate incentives.

On a side note, we are curious to know if Event Horizon has thought of a future with Ranked Choice Delegations. During SBC, there was talk in the meta-governance community about having a pool of tokens or a wallet that delegates their votes to an ordered list of candidates, where if a candidate does not use their delegated voting power, then their power is redistributed across the delegation list to keep participation high.
