Voting & delegation questions

[wes-r]

1. Where’s the whitepaper? https://iohk.io/research/papers/#S7KC2KGJ has a “coming soon” message o_O.
2. How will ballots be formed/submitted?
3. Will there be a cost to submitting a ballot?
4. Time constraint on them? How do we prevent rushing a ballot through?
5. Will there be a requirement of % participation in order for a measure to pass?

Finally a thought/idea:
I love that I can delegate my vote to a group I trust, BUT there is potential for there to be MANY types of measures. Perhaps on environmental issues, I’d like to delegate my vote to group A, for Cardano development, I’d like to delegate my vote to IOHK, for scientific research, I’d like to delegate my vote to some institution, etc.

What if we had a way to categorize ballots AND delegate accordingly? Is this yet another problem solved by sidechains?

Interesting thoughts and questions.
Hopefully involved researchers like Philipp Kant and Bingsheng Zhang can shed some light on this, even if the roadmap shows it on early stage (20%) at the moment.

Btw: There was two other question regarding the voting system

Governance system - What's the potential?

I’m extremely interested in block chain governance and am going to dump some questions and ideas, thoughts. Assuming we have the ability to vote on what assets get used for… Proposals & the teams assigned to deliver the work could be separated in some way. Detailed proposals get accepted, then teams can present themselves to be selected. I’ve had quite an interest in Aragon decentralised organisations… Would we have similar capabilities to use the voting/governance mechanism to run a whole co…

Questions about treasury system

I have some questions about the treasury system invented and engineered by IOHK for Cardano and ZenCash In short treasuries should provide a funding for a sustainable and democratic evolution of a decentralized system. This raises some questions that have many similarities with real political/community situations.: 1.) How do you find majorities for evolutions that many recognize as necessary but are very complex/expensive? (let’s say something like inventing a provable PoS instead of wa…
