In the event a proposal passes the initial “like” stage on the Talk forum and fails the Metaforo governance vote, introduce a 30 day cool off period before a modified proposal can be resubmitted.
Modifications must be material, taking into consideration comments from the governance process. Discretion about what constitutes material modifications is at the sole discretion of the DAO committee.
In order to take the views of all stakeholders into account, the proposal must again pass the initial “like” stage on the Talk forum and then to Metaforo.
If proposal fails again
If the proposal fails (to pass the Nervos Talk stage or Metaforo vote) a second time, disqualify the submitter:subject combination of the proposal indefinitely.
Following a second proposal failure (there is no cool off period introduced here) the proposer is free to submit new proposals, the content of which must be fundamentally different from the failed proposal. Discretion about what constitutes a fundamental difference is at the sole discretion of the DAO committee.
it is going to be hard to get these meta rules through with low participation in the forum. Any ideas on how to increase participation or lower the like threshold?
I would definitely vote for a cool off period, but a couple of things I can think of that need to be clarified:
1 - Will Meta rule proposals be affected by this? Like William said above, because of the low participation rate at this early stage of the DAO, a Meta rule change that is obviously in the best interests of the DAO and would likely be supported by the vast majority of holders, might fail due to low voting participation and apathy.
2 - What’s stopping a ‘new’ submitter from proposing the same thing again a third time under a different name/project?
3 - I’m also not sure an indefinite ban is the right way. For example, there might be legitimate projects that fail to get funding twice in the current environment when the DAO has limited resources.
But this might be a different scenario if/when the treasury is worth 4 times what it is now and we might be more willing to take on some riskier ideas.
Maybe another option is a scaling cool-off period, where the first failure is 30 days, the second is 60 day etc.
This is a proposal to modify the meta rules. To ensure better understanding among users in the Chinese community, I have translated the original text of the proposal into Chinese.
