## Tally Voting

For this month, a total of **1 Tally Vote** were considered for TV scoring. It’s important to clarify that proposals with the tag [CANCELED] are not counted for DIP. These are the proposals that were considered:

1. [**[Constitutional AIP] Activate Arbitrum BoLD + Infura Nova Validator Whitelist**](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/101924107818180443784046677916233531742645798596604549673138282938475874935972?govId=eip155:42161:0xf07DeD9dC292157749B6Fd268E37DF6EA38395B9)

💡 _ **It is important to note that only those proposals that ended in January were counted.** _

## Communication Rationale

For the CR, the published rationals of all the votes of the month were considered, taking into account Snapshot and Tally.

To obtain the maximum qualification in this aspect, a delegate had to express his rationale for all the month’s votes, in other words, **9 (8 Snapshot + 1 Tally)**.

# Payments

We track all payment data for greater transparency in our [Payment Distribution Thread](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/dip-v1-51-delegate-incentive-program-payment-distribution-thread/27877).

# Bonus Points

This month two delegates were awarded Bonus Points for their remarkable contributions to Arbitrum DAO.

**@MaxLomu** has received the **maximum possible Bonus Points** from the DIP for his contributions to [**[RFC] Arbitrum as the Home of Builders – Embracing Chain Abstraction**](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/rfc-arbitrum-as-the-home-of-builders-embracing-chain-abstraction/27250/1). His insights and active participation have been instrumental in shaping the discussion, which has now evolved into a collaboration with Offchain Labs’ Universal Intent Engine program.

**@PauloFonseca** has been awarded with **5 Bonus Points** from the DIP for his vigilance in identifying a double payment in a Questbook report, leading to the recovery of **$10,000 USDC** for the DAO. Because of this, Questbook was able to contact the grantee and request the funds back, which were returned by January 14th. [**You can view the funds sent back here.**](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/questbook-dda-program-report/27859/13)

Additionally, Bonus Points were awarded to several delegates for their attendance at the “[Arbitrum Governance Report Calls](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/19th-grc-governance-reporting-call-on-wednesday-september-25th-at-2pm-utc/26901)” and the “[Open Discussion of Proposal(s) - Bi-weekly Governance Call](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/c/governance/biweekly-proposals-discussions-call/46).”

- For the GRC calls, 1,25% BP will be awarded for each attendance.
- For the Open Discussion of Proposal(s) - Bi-weekly Governance calls, 1.25% BP will be awarded for attending each call.

This month, **2 bi-weekly calls** took place as usual, with a maximum possible score of 2.5% as a result since GRC calls didn’t occur. In total, **43 delegates received Bonus Points** for attending the Bi-weekly Governance Calls.
