Description

This proposal suggests implementing dynamic voting thresholds in the Decentraland DAO governance process. Instead of relying on static participation and acceptance thresholds, this system would adapt to voter engagement, proposal type, and contextual variables. The aim is to enhance democratic participation, reduce proposal stagnation, and maintain fairness during fluctuating levels of community activity.

I agree, POIs and names only, it should not be dynamic for committees, grants (if re-enabled), or governance proposals, unless the current thresholds are used as minimum, in which case the dynamic thresholds would only be effective to increase the limits if a large amount of VP arrive at once.

The POI VP requirement has been lowered to 500k, and there isn't going to be any challenge reaching it going forward.

I like this idea as long as it keeps to the two catergories listed, POI and Name BANS. Considering the votes on some past POI requests, both to add and to remove, had difficulty getting passed, I vote YES. And @jar0d I say consider the positive side of the future of Decentraland, and the increase of requests that would come in. Manifest it. Its just a test for now if it passes and what does that hurt really? Not trying to sway you any but it's why I am voting YES. Plus I just have to write the final proposal on the POI catergories, that should also be a reference for the determination. At least I'd think it would.

[quote="dao, post:1, topic:24255"] ## Specification **The dynamic system would work as follows (for discussion and refinement):** Participation Thresholds adapt based on recent DAO activity: Calculated as a moving average of VP cast over the last (X) amount of proposals. Ensures thresholds scale with actual voter participation trends. [/quote] These specifications are not nearly specific enough for this draft proposal to be passed on to the next round. There should be a formula for us to discuss and adjust before promoting to final Governance Stage. There simply isn't anything of substance to be discussed or voted on as written. [quote="dao, post:1, topic:24255"] **Pilot Phase:** Initial implementation applies only to POI and Name Ban proposals. Feedback gathered for broader roll-out. [/quote] There simply aren't enough Name Ban votes, or POI votes generally, to attempt a pilot program solely utilizing them. While the idea of "Dynamic Voting Thresholds" is easily suggested and generally agreeable, it requires a strong and well-thought-out foundation in order to be implemented effectively, and this does not provide that foundation or even enough substance to start debating it.
