We dont have a huge pushback on this, (although it would be good to keep having a mechanism for smaller delegate participation, either through DIP or an alternate mechanism)
But we wonder if retroactive activation is necessary?
if there is a vote for DIP 1.7 and that vote retroactively determines if August is 1.6 or 1.7, that changes the participation criteria for August drastically, based on a vote which is concluding in august.
It’s an extremely strange situation that is hard for Delegates to adapt to and is not how laws work or are passed normally.
Why not simply make the DIP vote apply on the next month? this is how normal laws apply: after the vote concludes not retroactively, making it difficult or impossible for the people affected to adapt.
