=== COMMENTS ON PROPOSAL: ===

I voted FOR DIP V1.5 because it emphasizes high-quality contributions from delegates, a necessary shift in incentivizing thoughtful participation within the Arbitrum DAO. The proposed rubric-based evaluation system offers a more nuanced approach to reward those who provide timely and impactful feedback. While I recognize concerns regarding the subjectivity of this new structure, I believe it is worth experimenting with, given that it encourages meaningful engagement early in the proposal process.

The SEEDGov team has done a commendable job administering the program so far, and I trust their ability to manage this iteration effectively. That said, I will monitor how the rubric is applied and whether it can be refined further if any issues arise. Overall, DIP V1.5 represents a positive step forward in increasing the depth and quality of participation within the DAO.
