Blockworks Research will vote FOR the option of Improving Predictability (No Approval Process) on Snapshot.
The proposal addresses an emerging issue within the community. Although Arbitrum communications are somewhat organized, the governance proposal-to-voting pipeline lacks structure. Starting on Thursday is ideal because people tend to be busier toward the end of the week. This timing allows ample time early in the week for deliberation and provides sufficient time in the following period for voting. At Blockworks, we believe that improving the predictability of voting schedules will help reduce delegate fatigue and bring better consistency into the DAO.
However, we would like to caution against a delegate approval process as structured in this proposal because while we understand it is to encourage delegate cooperation outside of the forums, implementing an incentive like this without more structure may inadvertently lead to more politics. We would like to revisit this at a later date though, as we believe that this would be a worthy idea of pursuing in reference to specific proposals, such as highly technical proposals (i.e., posting the block hash to the L1, BoLD upgrades, etc).
