Thanks @schmackofant and @rpill for your comments here. While we’ve been discussing this proposal in the other thread (VDP-52 stewards election proposal options), we need to finalise that discussion here and come to a conclusion.
From a pure governance point of view, one could argue that this proposal VDP-51 could go on Snapshot any time. It is true that there is wide-ranging criticism (which, BTW, include me in a personal capacity besides my role as gov wg steward). Technically though, the proposal has sufficient “agree” votes to be moved to phase 3, which is really up to the proposal authors @TheoWal and @alexdobrin. Along these lines we also discussed this proposal in our last working group call.
That said, I would appreciate if the proposal authors would still respond to the criticism here and in Discord (gov wg channel and cross wg channel, especially) and rephrase the proposal accordingly.
