Vote: 1A, 1C, 1E

Proposal: Anticapture Commission

Vote: Yes

Rationale: While StableLab believes the anti-capture commission should have both more voting power and a more efficient way of using this voting power, we believe this is a good first iteration of the initiative. We look forward to serving on the commission as well as providing feedback after the season to hopefully form an improved anti-capture commission for season 6.

Vote: Yes.

Vote: Yes.

Vote: Yes.

Vote: No.

Rationale: StableLab is not in full support of the sizing of this Mission relative to the requirement put on the community by the yet unproven allocation methodology outlined. In essence we find the attention economy of a mission to be too broad and recommend that this endeavor perhaps eventually be part of a larger governance mission framework to support innovation of this type. Already in practice there are more proven grant allocation methodologies with significantly less overhead cost to drive the expected impact.

Upgrade Proposal #11: Holocene Network Upgrade

Vote: No Veto.

Rationale: No objections to this planned upgrade.
