Part of the intent of the ideation step is to allow the community to review any modifications to or alternatives to proposals. You can read that here. Prior to your decision to move this to SnapShot, you were given the alternate proposal in advance, informed that the alternate proposal would be headed to the forum, and the alternate proposal was posted here. You also just yesterday agreed verbally to review the new proposal in order to collaborate on this. I sent you the proposal in advance yesterday to establish some record of these conversations having taken place in anticipation of something like this being attempted.
To be clear, the FOX Governance Process document says:
From time to time there may be conflicting proposals. To avoid issues, the Ideation phase can also serve as time for anyone to list their preferred alternative option on the forum. Each proposal on an associate topic will have a [TOPIC] block placed in its title.
After that time, a formal proposal will be put forward including all options available to move forward with that received majority support in Ideation. This will ensure that everyone has the ability to surface their preferences while keeping decision timelines reasonably short.
and also says:
-
Timeline: 5 days minimum
- Proposal may move forward if the majority votes in favor after timeline specified above
Given that this post was originally made at July 8, 2022, 1:13PM MST and the proposal was moved to Snapshot at Jul 13, 2022, 10:17 AM, the minimum five-day ideation phase had not concluded prior to this being moved out of ideation.
Perhaps more importantly, I think the decision to knowingly advance this proposal to Snapshot before the community had a chance to review modifications or the proposed alternative unfortunately represents yet another action that is against the spirit of governance.
Although there are currently more votes ‘AGAINST’ this proposal than ‘FOR’ on Snapshot, I think that the right thing to do in order to see that the best wishes of the community are reflected here is to remove the proposal from Snapshot at this time.
