what Toady said

i'm fully in favor of lowering the threshold but feel this proposal is too drastic. i'd prefer to revisit the topic in another year or so to re-evaluate.

i'd vote for an alternate proposal requiring 0.1% of the noun supply to make proposals (i.e. 1 noun required until noun 1000)

When I look at the votes FOR on this proposal, I see a lot of new Nouners, who undoubtedly feel disenfranchised by the recent 100% jump in Nouns required for proposal submission. I think the "26 years" piece muddied the waters on this proposal unnecessarily, but ultimately the threshold could be raised at any point in the future and I feel like "solving" this problem later, when the problem actually exists, makes more sense to me than the inverse. If this proposal should fail, hopefully an alternative for a shorter period of time will be more palatable to the DAO.

don't have an opinion here

Easy, ready, willin’, overtime
Where does it stop?
Where do you dare me
To draw the line?
You've got the body
Now you want my soul
Don't even think about it
Say, “No go”

I think we should make a threshold an opt-in and not an opt out. We are having a system which makes noun holders unequal and creates a class. Those who can propose and those who can't.

i feel strongly about supporting this. seems like the 26 year time period is throwing people off. it can be changed via another proposal but I see this as a default safeguard against centralizing power into the hands of only those who own or are delegated many nouns. right now there shouldn't be any difference in power (besides # of votes) between those with 1 noun and those with many nouns. anyone with a noun should be able to submit a proposal to the DAO. And we can assume (at this point) anyone putting up the capital to buy a noun will come with a thoughtful proposal. If one nouners are required to find someone else to co-sign a proposal then there's not much difference between having a noun and not having a noun.

If we wanted to change the threshold at a later date it would require thoughtful consideration and discussion, rather than continuing to kick the can down the road and lowering the threshold every few months.

would support halving the proposal threshold again, with 1 year runway rather than 26
