We can definitely reach out ahead of time to notify top Delegates of upcoming proposals. In the past, even with notice, Delegates tend not to engage with a proposal until it is put to a vote.
UPDATE: We just posted a weekly roundup thread about governance activity that might be especially useful for Delegates. If you’re following the ENS DAO Twitter account, you should see these in your timeline weekly from now on.
The IRL pod will be hosting an event at ETHDenver in early March. Beyond that, I’m not sure whether anything has been confirmed, but @Limes can comment if I’ve missed anything.
The IRL funding is also available to build out infrastructure for community-hosted IRL meetups, where a portion of costs can be reimbursed to hosts. We hope these will take place in as many countries/cities as possible.
Will leave this for @slobo.eth and @matoken.eth to comment.
Name normalization is an ongoing upgrade being worked on by @raffy. You can follow Raffy’s work on nomalization in this thread and this more recent thread.
