Hi @Curia,
Thank you for your review and for flagging this.
You are correct that Gauntlet submitted their rationale 22 hours after the deadline. That said, given that several delegates were traveling to ETH Denver that week, and considering that this was the first month in which this rule was enforced (as there were no votes in January), we made the decision to still include them in the distribution.
We acknowledge that this was not explicitly mentioned in the post and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
