The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We vote in favor of both the implementation of the calendar and the implementation of the approval process.
We believe that the approval process can get delegates more involved in proposals early on, and prevent proposers from working on something that does not have enough support. It takes a lot of work and effort to make a good proposal, and we should make sure that it is not wasted just because delegates are reluctant to give honest feedback until the final on-chain vote.
While the approval process does not guarantee the proposal’s future success, it does ensure that at least some delegates have read it and supported it enough to give it a public thumbs up.
