Should Grant Request Proposals require at least 100 VP to submit? This proposal is now in status: PASSED. Voting Results: * Yes 57% 4,148,201 VP (111 votes) * No 43% 3,241,209 VP (24 votes)

And having a NAME gives u 100vp, which is the minimum requirement that we are referring to here. So barrier to entry is neither exhorbitant, nor non-existent.

I agree that in order to make a proposal one must at least have some stake in DCL, whether that be name, MANA or LAND. Each one provides a different tier that almost anyone can afford. Even me. I would like to know if, in the past 12 months, anyone without a name has actually submitted a good grant, and if this would preclude them from continuing to participate. I doubt the number would be significant and we have the avenue of delegation to help with that. On the other hand I have seen quite a few junk proposals from people without names, and wild proposals from people who are not engaged in the community or even familiar with how DCL works. We should not give VP or any other incentive for time spent in-world. Time is a commodity but we should first focus on those who spend time building experiences, businesses that exponentially leverage the "time in world' formula by bringing in new users week after week.

I think you should have to have a DCL name to have a voice in the DAO.

'commodity' is a really sexy word.

Uhh its 100 vp, not 100k.

My vote is no. The 100 VP requirement could inadvertently create an environment where only a few large stakeholders have the power to propose grants, which could lead to centralization and an imbalance of influence within the community. A minimum VP requirement can be beneficial in some ways, but it is essential to strike a balance that encourages responsible voting while still promoting inclusivity and diversity within the community.

I agree that we should have a minimum of 100vp to vote on proposals. I'd like to clarify that there's a difference between a voter and a participant. Anyone can participate in DCL, be it exploring, or even being a creator. But to be able to vote in matters that affect the ecosystem comes with responsibility, and the minimal way to show that is to be financially vested. A good example would be that only citizens are allowed to vote, not tourists. The former contributes both time and money into his/her country. Since we can't readily quantify the amount of time that a person spends in DCL contributing( not afking), the other more straightforward alternative is being financially vested.

Thank you for your suggestion @SinfulMeatStick. In regards to non-monetary contributions, personally I think time spent in-world isn't a good requirement when it comes to Grant Requests. I believe a small requirement of 100 VP would be a good starting point.

not a suitable answer I will vote no for now until a better answer is presented

The non monetary aspect is easy, if they don't have VP, they just need delegation from someone with a name. If you cannot get delegation from a single person with a name, then you probably won't be able to achieve your grant anyway.

I would like to see a nonmonetary aspect to this Proposal , I have suggested the addition of 100 active in world hours. Time is a commodity too.

Vote: NO Until there is a proposed method of accounting for contributions other than financial, for accruing VP, I will continue to vote no on a 100 VP minimum requirement to submit. There are other methods to deter bots and 0 stake holders from posting Grant Requests that would still be inclusive to a majority of people from different socio-economic strata and from countries with different individual freedoms. [quote="dao, post:1, topic:18421"] A 100 VP requirement would disincentive Grant Requests being submitted by bots or users who have no real stake in Decentraland. Also, it could help encourage participation in the DAO by setting a minimum level of engagement that must be met before a Grant can be requested.

These can be used to calculate VP for offchain voting using Snapshot. There are also a multitude of "[Validations](https://docs.snapshot.org/strategies/what-is-a-strategy-1#validation-strategy-example-basic)" that can be used to help ensure that there are people and not bots voting on proposals.
