Phase 1 Governance Suggestions - Polling
DIR By: Johnny401View

Introduction
I believe the first step toward community governance revolves
around an easy way to conduct polling through the smart wallet.
Polling not only offers direct feedback from the community, but
also allows a way for the Divi Team to review community
engagement levels.
Direct voting on proposals should be a process reserved in later
phases.
Polling Control
I recommend polling events are generated directly from the team.
If a community member feels a topic needs to be presented in a
poll, we need a process where if there's enough community
support, the Divi team could post the poll.
Maybe allow a community poll to execute based on a fee and/or
support?
Wallet Notification
Some type of notification that new poll(s) are available
Weighted Polling
Unless we plan on verifying identities, it's too easy for people
to create multiple wallets to try to manipulate outcome. If we
aren't verifying identify, I recommend 1 coin = 1 vote
Polling parameters
Items such as description of the poll, team comments, duration
etc..
Proxy
If someone doesn't want to participate in polls, however, wants
their voice heard by someone they deem better informed, I'd like
to see an option for vote proxies.
Example: Johnny2Tall owns 100,000 Divi. He would have the
option to have BillyBlockchain control his 100,000 Divi for
'voting'. He believe Billy is well informed and would make
decisions that benefits the project.
Search
Easy way to search the results of previous polls
Transparency
Would the votes be public? Could an individual toggle
public/private vote options?
Conclusion
The goal here is to get community feedback without turning over
the keys to governance at phase 1. It doesn't matter how amazing
our full governance system works if we're not first able to
inspire participation within the community. I feel this is a
first step for the team to get the necessary feedback in a
transparent way from the community and start looking at ways to
improve participation.

soooooo...had a chance to go over this. Regarding polling
control - I believe the current plan is to have a fee, but
anyone can introduce or bring something to a vote, so it's a
true democracy. The hope is that the fee will deter spamming
etc, plus there was talk about limiting the number of proposals
one can make in a given week, month, year etc. If you have time,
check out discord where we have had discussions in the
"governance" channel in the past.
I agree with wallet notification and I believe it's planned.
Same with weighted polling, I believe Geoff wrote in said
channel that he wants it to be that way.
Proxy is also a good idea. The only thing I disagree with really
is I do think anyone should be able to bring anything to a vote,
If we see people are abusing it by bringing something like
"should I have pizza tonight?" to a vote then maybe we can form
a group to review and approve them first, but then that is less
decentralized. Hopefully the fee and the limit on proposals
takes care of that though. Thanks for all your work!
