PHASE 2: Referendum Rules

We’re now in the referendum phase. This phase will run until 2pm on Sunday 23rd May.

Proposal making is now locked, but discussion can still continue here in this part of the forum. Please discuss the merits of the different proposals, and explain why you think they should or should not proceed to the vote stage. This isn’t just about picking your favourite.

If you want to lend your support to one or more proposals, visit the posts for the proposal(s) you support in the official list and click the like (heart) button.

Proposals which have support from over 20% of participants will advance to the next stage. There are currently 170 active participants, so proposals need 34 likes. This will grow as more people join and sign. I’ll post regular updates of the threshold.

If fewer than three proposals meet the threshold, the top three proposals will advance.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the discussion phase, particularly those who contributed proposals.

Please note that Proposals 2 and 8 will be combined at the request of the authors. Supporting either will count as support for this joint proposal. (This is why there are 9 proposals, not 10)

Actions in the referendum phase still count towards the 50,000 HOPR incentives for this experiment (the precise way in which this is calculated will be explained after the experiment ends).
