I agree this is an operational problem.
Pretty disappointing to me to see a proposal to lower the bar (which is important for security as @Tane explains well above).
Instead of lowering the number of ARB votes needed to reach quorum by 50M ARB, we should:
- move 50M ARB in 1M ARB chunks to a bunch of 1/1 gnosis safes owned by the DAO (can be done in 1 transaction, ie 1 vote, simply)
- delegate each to the top contributors to Arbitrum DAO.
we can argue about the exact amount, who gets the delegation, for how long, and size elsewhere.
What do you say @paulofonseca & @Tane? Doesnt that address all your concerns while also solving the operational issues?
Time to revisit my DAO DEAD program pilot proposal, but without any ARB staking:
