Thank you so much, @EthereumTGU for posting this. I would suggest keeping it simple, easy to measure, and not using any subjective qualifications, for a balanced program.
Regarding voting, will it be tiered or standardized (i.e. 100% participation required or a minimum of 80% of voting - for example) on all proposals during the Q4 quarter?
Including participation in the current CC cycle is a fair assessment of who is still engaged, as it covers the entire month with eight sessions held over 4+ weeks, allowing for amble opportunities for participation. However, I would suggest to have a minimum percentage (i.e. something like 70%) attendance of the eight sessions to provide a simple way to capture which delegates are the most engaged, vs. others who may only attend the first couple sessions or attend sporadically during the month.
However, I’m not sure how to measure engagement in forum posts, as this can lead to a subjective measurement, and the main cause of friction in other DAO incentive programs.
