[Non-Constitutional] - Updates to the DIP, The Complete 1.7 Version
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders if they support changes to the Delegate Incentive Plan. Changes of note include raising the threshold for compensation to 500,000 ARB delegation (existing eligible delegates below this threshold will be grandfathered in), changes in calculation of participation to avoid a 3-month waiting period for new delegates to become eligible, and affirmative acceptance of various terms like Code of Conduct and DAO Processes (existing eligible delegates will be assumed to have already completed this requirement). The amount of ARB compensation is also adjusted upwards to account for devaluation in ARB since the program’s beginning.
Delegates that are vote-buying/renting services will be removed from eligibility. The DIP administrators are also granted the power to penalize a delegate’s score (for the purposes of calculating compensation) so that they have an enforcement tool that is less severe than expulsion or suspension from the program.
Recommendation: Vote For. While some delegates have found some of these changes to be controversial (e.g. exclusion of vote-buying platforms from compensation or raising the minimum eligibility threshold with regard to delegate size), we do not, generally speaking, share their concern. In particular, raising the delegation threshold makes sense given that it is not a large amount from an economic standpoint – about $200,000.

[CONSTITUTIONAL] Register $BORING in the Arbitrum generic-custom gateway
Summary: This poll asks ARB holders to support BORING through a permissioned registration on the gateway router.
Recommendation: Vote For.As we stated when approving something similar for RARI, this process probably could be streamlined to avoid needing a constitutional vote, since this presents little risk and there may be demand from other token issuers in the future.
