Hey Phil, thanks for chiming in. Those are some good points. Here are my thoughts:
While expedited props can indeed be leveraged for standard props ( especially now that they both have the same MinDeposit amount) it’s worth considering that the threshold (66.7%) for expedited proposals can create an unnecessary burden for straightforward changes that don’t warrant a higher threshold.
Many standard proposals, while not time-sensitive, would benefit from faster execution without needing the higher threshold.
Could you elaborate in this? What type of proposal would benefit from a 14-day voting period, especially if we’re maintaining the regular period for forum discussions.
v19, v20 and v21 ( all of which I consider critical proposals) have all been expedited proposals and there didn’t seem to be any issues.
It’s also worth noting that, even with a period of 7 days, the Hub still lags behind compared to other chains.
I do, however, agree completely that certain proposals require extended deliberation. Hence the suggestion of maintaining longer discussion periods for:
- Major network upgrades
- CHIPS proposals
- Fundamental protocol changes
