@Arthur and @skilesare
Now that DF and ICA are going to be removed as default followees for governance topics (as per proposal 34485 linked below), people will start looking for neurons to follow. I suspect cycle_dao and ICDevs are going to become more common followees for many neurons, but both of your organizations will represent special interests. I expect people will choose to follow you because they trust you to vote reliably and in a way that is generally consistent with their beliefs. However, there will be some proposals where people will want to have an opportunity to vote manually with their own brains.
DF and ICA enabled this manual voting by intentionally waiting until the end of a voting period before casting their vote with the majority on roadmap proposals (before Simple Majority was enabled). I don’t expect you to have the ability to allow this voting delay in a reliable way since you lead small organizations and will likely have trouble getting your members to cast votes at a certain time.
Therefore, I would like to develop a proposal in which execution of liquid democracy is delayed until the end of the voting period for all governance proposals. Hopefully it is as simple as inserting a timer in the code. The idea is to enable your neuron to vote as soon as you want, but the automatic part for follower voting to be delayed until 90% of the minimum voting period has elapsed. Would you support this type of proposal?
@diegop will folks from Dfinity please offer input on this concept? I would like to know if there is any specific wording that should be used to ensure that the proposal is easily actionable based on the mechanics of liquid democracy execution. I don’t know the nuances of how it works and don’t want to propose something that makes implementation overly complicated. I feel like this should be applied uniformly to all liquid democracy for governance proposals only.
I am open to ideas on this topic and if there is support then I will start a new forum topic in the governance category.
