RFC: Voting System Choice for Hop DAO Elections

[fourpoops]

This has been posted for a vote as HIP-24: https://snapshot.org/#/hop.eth/proposal/0x95a2937f670bdf9490ace52f27cca3affc5c288b4768ee852c237bae4e354f1f

I’ll be voting for weighted voting with the consensus. I feel like this is a fairly low impact decision but don’t disagree with the arguments that have been made in favor of it.

Regarding conflicts of interest, my opinion is that no delegates should be able to vote for themselves or any of their team members in an election. I also believe that this principal should extend to proposals that impact a certain protocol that a delegate is affiliated/team member of.

I disagree with this–I would think it should be expected that a delegate would vote for themselves. Trying to ban this behavior isn’t sybil resistant and any bad actors can obfuscate wallets to get around it.
