Reason for dispute:

Thanks for your support with the program. Would like to clarify the calculation of bonus points. There were 1 GRC and 1 bi-weekly call, so the maximum possible score should be 5% instead of 7.5% here according to the method specified in the post with 2.5% BP for each call attendance.

Bonus Points

This month, Bonus Points were awarded to several delegates for their attendance at the call, as voted in v1.5.

Adding Bonus Points for delegates who attends to the “Arbitrum Governance Report Call” (monthly) and the “Open Discussion of Proposal(s) - Bi-weekly Governance Call.”

• For the monthly call, 2,5% BP will be awarded for attendance.
• For the bi-weekly calls, 2.5% BP will be awarded for attending each call.

This month, there were 1 GRCs and 1 bi-weekly call took place as usual, with a maximum possible score of 7.5% as a result. In total, 42 delegates received Bonus Points for attending the Bi-weekly Governance Calls.

However, according to DIP v1.7 Proposal, bonus points for each call should be 1.25% instead of 2.5%, so a little a bit confused and would like to check how the BPs for call attendance should be calculated.

2. Bonus Points (BP) – Extra 30 points

Awarded for exceptional contributions, such as attending governance calls.

• 1.25% Bonus Points per Governance Report Call (GRC) attended.
• 1.25% Bonus Points per Open Discussion of Proposals Governance Call attended.
• Max Bonus Points per month from attending calls is 5%. The Program Manager reserves the right to make exceptional changes to this limit and to the specific calls to be rewarded.

Governance Activity	New Bonus
Governance Report Call	1.25% BP per call
Open Discussion of Proposals Call	1.25% BP per call
Max Bonus Cap	5% BP

• The rest is reserved for extraordinary contributions.
• A DIP Participant can only get a total of 30 points between both concepts.

Parameters Overview Table

Metric	Weight	Formula
Participation Rate (PR)	15	(PR90 * 15) / 100
Snapshot Voting (SV)	20	(SV(Rn) / SV(Tn)) * 20
Tally Voting (TV)	25	(TV(Rn) / TV(Tn)) * 25
Voting Power Multiplier (VPM)	0.8 to 1	0.00000005063 * Delegate VP (monthly avg) + 0.7974685
Delegate Feedback (DF)	40	(Σ rubric score / 50) * 40 * Multiplier
Bonus Points (BP)	Extra	+30 TP

In addition, we attended 1 GRC and 1 Bi-weekly call in August, but we only got 1.74 BPs, so would like to also check how the BPs were calculated as the 5% cap of (PR90+SV+TV)*VPM+DF should be 3.49, which is higher than the 2.5 BPs we should have received.

Total Participation Points Calculation Steps

It combines all the aforementioned parameters to calculate the delegate’s overall score and it follows these steps:

1. Compute PR90, SV, and TV individually.
2. Sum these and apply the Voting Power Multiplier (VPM): (PR90 + SV + TV) * VPM
3. Add Delegate Feedback Score (DF).
4. Add Bonus Points (BP) - (Max 5% of (PR90+SV+TV)*VPM+DF).
5. Final result determines the delegate’s performance or Total Participation score for compensation.

Appreciate if the team may kindly clarify. Please correct me if I’m wrong. thanks!
