After trying it out, Boardroom is a good UX. In some ways, it simply duplicates existing functions, but it’s also decentralizing in some regard by doing that. At the end of the day, however, providing access to the OP forum, delegation, voting, delegates and their voting record, and the governance calendar is simply a low-friction experience. Our experience with governance across many venues is that anything that lowers the bandwidth required to collect information or interact with a DAO, the better.
The request is quite modest at 100,000 OP, and the funds are largely earmarked to reward those who participate in governance.
As a delegate, we would like to see this proposal advance to a vote when the applicants are ready.
