I would keep the decreased expedited\_voting\_period at 3 days.

For the standard\_voting\_period, I would love to see some analytics about the change in participition rates of frequent voters. If the participition rate of frequent voters decreased drastically because of the decreased voting period than we should argue if speed outweights governance participation.  
@lexa Would you be able to supply metrics about this?

Sorry, Flo, I don’t have those metrics.

I won’t be putting up any more props to adjust the voting periods unless something dramatic changes. I’m really happy with 7 days standard and 3 days expedited, and that set of params has now effectively passed governance twice (once for the initial prop, and once when this prop was rejected).

No worries. I somehow missed that this was already in voting when i wrote my comment.
