Looked like it passed 37m to 17m. The key differentiators were the votes from:

  1. The proposer, HLSBFI - 10m votes
  2. Kenneth Ng, Ethereum support - 10m votes
  3. Penn Blockchain - 8m votes
  4. UCLA Blockchain - 5m votes

This is interesting because

  1. Half the margin of victory came from the proposer itself

  2. Almost the total margin of victory came from the proposer itself and Penn Blockchain, which is sponsored by A16Z and helped write the WEF report with several of the board members who will now hand out the UNI that left the treasury

  3. Ignoring the large student groups, the vote was rejected 4:1

Score:

Lawyers/insiders who can hire themselves, former firms, sponsors and increase the value of their other investments: 1m Uni
Uniswap tokenholders: -1m Uni
