We think that the main improvement in this cycle is the emphasis on timely rationale writing. In future cycles we think that delegates should be posting rationale even before the voting period is over to completely eliminate writing rationale in hindsight. Or, at least have the deadline move closer towards the end of the voting period as reward initiative cycles continue.
There would need to be a way to measure the quality of delegate contribution in a non-arbitrary way, which is hard to do since some delegates may feel that their contributions/feedback was more important or influential than others’. For example, how do you quantify @SEEDGov recommending the 7 day rational submission, when @pepo previously suggested the 10 day timeline?
