In the spirit of working together on a journey never-ending growth and improvement [Guiding Principles], it appears there is some room for improvement!
It seems that the IIP process is not clear enough and that lack of clarity is produced some confusion here.
The confusion I noticed is that this IIP did not follow our governance process. Specifically, the 48 hour waiting period was not observed, as required by IIP-26.
The primary intent of that waiting period is to allow sufficient time for the community to understand a given proposal, ask questions, provide feedback etc… For historical context, the Coop used to have a 7-day waiting period from “proposed” to vote.
My base assumption is that the process itself is not clear (i.e. how does a proposal go from “draft” to “proposed”? When does the 48 hour waiting period start?) and that additional clarity is needed to set everyone up for success.
