and p.s. @DAPP360_MIKE it’s nice to see you back on the forum. I haven’t been involved with stake pool associations or unions, just observing their formation and presentation. I’ve been waiting for SPOCRA in particular to do something besides electing and maintaining their own leadership.

I gather from their recent meeting minutes (much appreciated that [these are posted online](https://forums.spocra.io/t/spocra-meeting-notes-oct-10th/139)) that having communication with “Cardano entities” is a top priority, but if this is being done to support the stake pools then why do you think has not a single member commented here: an attempt to discuss a proposal _already submitted directly to those entities_ on behalf of small stake pools?

… nor have any of the newly elected SPOCRA officers commented on either of these discussions, both on proposals designed to rationalise the stake distribution between the large / habitually delegated pools and the distinctive / performant small pools?

How to make Daedalus rankings less weighted by stake and thus more fair. Modify the current ranking equation by decreasing the influence of stake in the rankings in order to give more fair rankings and improve the viability of the stake pool operator community and the network overall. To do this we need to remove the stated g…

I’m open to changes & suggestions before submitting the first draft of that CIP, and will include any corrections & consensus from the community as time goes on. I’ll include the Github CIP link in a further comment as soon as it’s produced. Discussion is vital to keep this CIP moving forward so the necessary application s…

This week has seen @Cardano-Foundation move 4% of the Ada stake from the largest pools to some of the best performing small pools. This takes care of so much of the stake centralisation problem in one single, noble step… actually putting into practice a lot of the rhetoric from the video above. I do think that IOG needs to be pressured to fold their stake pools up (or stop saying that it’s “supporting” the small pools) but there’s a lot that we ourselves, _as well as_ whatever SPA’s are formed, can do in the meantime 🕶
