I’m sorry I didn’t respond to this in my first post. Was on on the run.
The goal of this governance is to try to focus AURA’s veBAL might so that the DAO as a whole (has a /is the) significant influence in the Balance Wars. The war is most certainly still afoot, and if the DAO splits its votes then basically they are canceling each other out. Around us veBAL governance is concentrating with either one or a very small group of people making the decisions. Even voting in unison, all of auraBAL is not the largest voting bloc.
I think what you propose makes a lot of sense if/when AURA gets to the point where it it’s starting to have a controlling stake (40% of veBAL). Right now it’s a fight for relevance and a seat at the table frankly. We’re doing good so far, but it starts to be more important that AURA can exercise influence on non-economic veBAL voting in my opinion, hence why I authored this proposal with @SmallCapScience.
Does that make sense? Is there a reason you strongly feel it’s important to split the vote?
