DIP as a program has no scope over the decisions of holders on how to delegate their tokens. We believe this should be discussed within the [Delegation Working Group](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/kicking-off-staking-rewards-and-delegation-working-groups/26776) of the Staking proposal.

Some of the adjustments we’ve implemented were designed to attract new delegates, such as modifying the participation rate required to apply for the program.

Additionally, as Program Administrators, we will be reaching out to delegates who are eligible to participate in the program but have yet to do so:

Hi raam! Thanks for the clarification.

Apparently there has been a miscommunication on our side regarding the extension of DIP v1.0. However, we would like to take this opportunity to ask you if the delegates already enrolled in the first iteration will need to complete the KYC again if v1.5 is approved.
