We appreciate the effort that went into this proposal and see the value in lowering barriers for smaller token holders to participate more directly in governance.
That said, we believe the timing may not be right. The DAO is currently facing a more pressing challenge with quorum, and resolving that should take priority before introducing new governance layers.
While it is true that smaller delegates cannot technically open proposals on their own, in practice, the DAO has developed an effective workaround: larger delegates often sponsor proposals from smaller ones. This dynamic has enabled important initiatives to move forward. For example, as kpk we were able to successfully introduce and pass the Onboarding Package for Gnosis Chain proposal with the sponsorship of PGov.
For these reasons, while we see merit in the Community Proposal Factory, we encourage addressing quorum and governance participation at the broader level before introducing additional mechanisms.
