Since we decided under [VDP-52 stewards election proposal options](https://gov.vitadao.com/t/vdp-52-stewards-election-proposal-options/761) that we’ll strive to reach a consensus on the election process, I’m posting my comments here to initiate a discussion. I basically have the following problems with the proposal:

1. The overall idea of the VDP is to reserve the steward election rights to VitaCore, which is inconsiderate towards the rest of the VitaDAO community. I suggest we roll with the process outlined in [VDP-36 Stewardship Process Amendment #1](https://gov.vitadao.com/t/vdp-36-stewardship-process-amendment-1/564) or come up with something else.
2. Under this VDP, the nomination of a steward is done either by VitaCore or by a loosely defined category of people, i.e. contributors and token holders. a) What is an exact definition of a contributor? b) 10,000 VITA (to be categorized as a holder) seems to be an arbitrary number. Is there a justification for this cut-off?
