[Phase 1] HIP-77 Streamlining Minor HIP & Policy Revisions

Hello!

Yes for the first two examples. The third still retains our current Phase system, but batches the revisions into one HIP. Although these are only preliminary suggestions. As it stands, HIP-70 that I also put together has been ready to go to phase 3, and I have signalled people responsible for setting up snapshots to do so (I don’t have the authority to make them). I know there is a backlog, so it seems silly to have such a long winded process for such small changes if we have other proposals already waiting to be voted on.

As an example, here are the changes to the Proof of Humanity Registry Policy that I recommended pertaining to make-up policy on page 2:


Current Policy:
Neutral, soft and natural make-up without colored lipstick, eyeliner or
eyeshadows are acceptable. Any make-up product or item that significantly alters
or modifies facial features is not allowed.

Recommended Policy
“For peace of mind, it is recommended to avoid using make-up. However, neutral, soft and natural make-up is acceptable. Transparent lip balm, lip oil, or lip gloss is acceptable, but must not cause glare or obfuscation of the facial features. Simple black or brown eyeliner is acceptable. Any make-up product or item that appears to significantly alter or modify facial features, is not allowed.”

Rationalization for changes to policy:

Lipstick is always coloured. It would be impossible to decide where to draw the line. This was the grounds of a recent profile rejection, since they assumed red would be okay due to the picture on the PoH website which has an accepted profile of a lady with red lipstick. (That should probably be changed also)

Lips balms, etc are often available in clear forms, and would allow people with lip conditions to treat them.

Eyeliner can be very colorful, I recommended limiting this to black or brown, similarly with eyeshadows.

Making it clear as possible any makeup used should be as natural as possible. Makeup palettes are sold for this purpose everywhere, so the definition of natural tone in terms of one’s own skin tone should be clear if someone owns makeup in the first place.


It seems silly to wait months to make a small change like this that will reduce more cases rejected related to the makeup and doesn’t impact the DAO or sybil-resistance in any apparant negative way.

Hopefully this clarification and example helps you understand the nature of the HIP.
