For authors and/or key contributors of these proposals, it would be helpful if you could include a TL;DR of your proposal/discussion in the comments so delegates can review them and prepare their questions for the call.
Please comment below if there are any updates that you wish to share during the call.
Additional Notes
We prioritise all proposals and notable discussions that have more engagement.
The logic of the two weeks is that given the proposal lifecycle (one week on the forum, one week temp-check, and then two weeks onchain vote). This means that even if a proposal takes the shortest possible route, it will be covered at least at the proposal and onchain stage stage, or the tempcheck and onchain stage.
For anything that needs a recap, they could be parked after these discussions.
One metric I would suggest including in these posts is attendance at the monthly governance calls. Monitoring the number of participants (not counting Arbitrum staff) over time could provide a useful indicator of overall governance engagement and community participation.
This would also help measure whether initiatives implemented are successfully increasing awareness, participation, and interest in governance. Tracking attendance trends could offer valuable insight into whether governance engagement is growing, stagnating, or declining over time.
One suggestion I would like to add is around both metrics and structure for these governance calls.
First, if we are hosting governance calls every month, it is important to track how many community members actually participate (excluding Arbitrum staff). Over time, this attendance metric can show whether engagement is increasing, stagnant, or declining, and whether specific initiatives are actually helping more people join and contribute.
Second, I believe native language participation is a key missing piece. Many community members are not able to express their views fully on the call because they are more comfortable in their local language than in English. Adding native-language segments, translators, or dedicated breakout spaces could make these calls much more inclusive and engaging for a wider set of participants.
Finally, if a question has already been asked and discussed on the forum in advance, it should not take up too much additional time on the call. In those cases, the call could briefly reference the forum discussion and focus instead on clarifications, open concerns, or points that are still unresolved. Optimizing the call structure in this way can make it more valuable, and encourage more community members to attend regularly in the future.
