Dear Proposer,

Thank you for your proposal. Our second vote on this proposal is NAY.

The Big Tipper track requires 35% participation and simple majority of non-abstain votes according to our voting policy v0.2, and any referendum in which the majority of members vote abstain receives an abstain vote. This proposal has received zero aye and five nay votes from ten available members. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The retroactive tip proposal was met with unanimous skepticism and was criticized for setting a potentially dangerous precedent. Voters argued that compensating participation in OpenGov should be regarded as covering operational costs rather than serving as a direct payment for engagement. They expressed concerns that approving such tips might encourage others to request similar compensation, ultimately undermining the integrity of the governance process. Some suggested that the proposer should seek compensation through the light-DV track instead, emphasizing that ensuring fair procedures and maintaining genuine contributions was essential for preserving the balance of decentralization and operational effectiveness.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

Please feel free to contact us through the links below for further discussion.

Kind regards,
Permanence DAO

PolkaWorld Vote: NAY

Two-thirds opposed, one-third in favor.

Opponents argue that equating active OpenGov voters with Decentralized Voices (DVs) is not a reasonable comparison. They suggest the proposer apply for the fifth DV term to receive fair compensation.

Supporters note that SIM-DOT has frequently been the first to post comments, providing information that is generally fair and objective. They believe that community members who actively participate in governance and remain neutral should receive some support—not only those recognized by the Web3 Foundation. This approach better aligns with the spirit of decentralization.
