[Phase-2] HIP-23 Snapshot Administration

It doesn’t, board members must put proposals to vote, they don’t have any discretion in that and if they don’t they’ll get replaced. It’s just an administrative task. And note that you just need one person to technically do it.
Also note that until recently, the administrator could remove proposals (actually we still can, but not individual proposals) so this proposal actually gives less power to administrators than currently because:

  • It mandates then to put proposals to vote without delay.
  • It gives a fail-safe in case they were to be malicious and censor proposals.

Most DAOs (ex Balancer as they’ve created Snapshot) do not allow anyone to create proposals on their snapshot (whitelist or ask a really large token amount).

HIP-7 explicitely states

This proposal is actually providing safeguards against administrators abusing their technical power.
