Reactivity assessment - I agree it is decreasing because all routine business proposals such as Subnet Managements and System Canister Management have a 4 day voting period and we need Absolute Majority to be executed by liquid democracy of default following of DFINITY to implement them quickly. However, I see nothing wrong with setting the voting period for these proposals to 1 hour (or whatever) and executing them when the timer runs out. DFINITY will cast their vote for or against and they will always execute at the end of that shorter voting period because DFINITY owns far more than 3% of the minimum voting power required to execute a proposal by Simple Majority. Plus a lot of people will configure their neurons to follow DFINITY on these proposal topics anyway since DFINITY is the only logical choice and people want their voting rewards. There is no public review of these proposals that matters today anyway. They are all executed the moment DFINITY casts a vote due to default following and that typically happens within minutes to hours of submitting the proposals. Hence, the enhancement that is needed that changes the assessment of Reactivity for proposal 55651 seems as simple as changing the voting period for these critical proposal topics.
What would happen when a bad actor controlling > 3% of the voting power submits a malicious proposal and DFINITY for some reason doesn’t vote on it within that one-hour voting period? Your suggestion depends on a quorum of humans at DFINITY monitoring and voting on proposals 24/7.
I’m in favor of Periodic Confirmation of Neuron Followees , I’m just pointing out a problem with the one-hour voting period idea.
