Iāve been watching RARI from the outside for a while and have been interested in becoming more active in the governance and community (and Iām finally doing so yay). I support this proposal since it creates a strong incentive for people like me to start participating actively.
That said, as others have mentioned in previous comments, this should be open to any applicant rather than being retroactive. Opening it up would encourage new people to engage with RARI Governance. I understand that this may seem unfair to those who have already contributed in previous months, but perhaps they could receive an extra incentive (like X amount of points for being active before the program started). That way, we can reward past contributors while also encouraging new participation.

Hey @san, this will be open to any applicant since you can start participating in the next quarter and be eligible for incentives. The program is intended to run through to the end of 2025, and incentives will be distributed for participation in each quarter.

@bitblondy , as I was posting my delegate thread on the Forum, I realized that should have asked you to clarify regarding what is being measured as the qualification dates for the first quarter of the incentive program, and therefore, all future quarters.
Specifically, is the proposal date measured by using the āvoting period start dateā or the āend voting period dateā for voting participation? And that delegate activities for Q1 would measure for the following proposals: RRC-37 - RRC-40.

Thank you for putting this up, Sixty!
I am in support of this proposal but I will be highlighting a few things as voting is already live on Tally.
Please, this link takes us to Tally and not the eligible delegates.
Also, if we are using the 2k veRARI as an eligibility criterion, even the 15 recognized delegates from the current cohort wonāt qualify for the initial set of rewards. This is because of the decay factor. All 15 delegates currently have <2k veRARI.
So, upon passing, would this then start with the next cohort of delegates?

@coffee-crusher thatās a good question, we didnāt clarify that in the proposal. We could measure, when an individual delegate voted. It probably does make more sense operationally, though, when one proposal gets assigned a certain quarter. @Sixty What do you think from an operational perspective?
Thanks, @WinVerse, for your comment. We indeed didnāt account for the decay in veRARI voting power. Tally is not displaying the current voting power correctly, as it seems.
As far as I see, the decay for the participants of the current delegate launchpad cohort started in February, so only this (most recent) proposal would be affected.
It would be an option, to make an amendment in the upcoming rewards proposal for Q1. However, Iām not sure about future proposals.
It depends on the launch date of the next delegate cohort, and more importantly, the governance migration. @addie Do you might have an update from foundation on these two aspects?

Thanks, @bitblondy and @Sixty for your help. The reason why Iām asking, is when I looked at RRC-36, the voting period started for that proposal on Dec 26th and ended on Jan 3rd. I wondered if there were a future proposal that had similar start and end voting dates (i.e. that started and ended in different quarters) what quarter would that proposal be considered for delegate incentives?

Fixed the link ser, should take you to the delegates page now. Initially, we based the criteria on the veRARI on the delegate page linked, so we will discuss and figure out the best way forward.

@bitblondy @coffee-crusher operationally it would make the most sense to look at when a proposal was published, rather than the end of the voting period. So Q1 would start with RRC-37 in this case.

Thank you, @Sixty , that would totally make sense of using the proposal published date as the metric for delegate incentives tracking.
