My cold wallet was unreachable while i was traveling the past year, I came now to claim my ENS and I noticed that ENS DAO governance token airdrop has now officially ended

We had made it clear the airdrop would last six months and we tried our best to remind people the deadline was approaching. The goal of the drop if for active governance: any tokens that were stale for the whole period would probably not participate in governance eitherâŚ
However the airdrop tokens arenât gone, just back to the DAO and can be used by anything the community wants. I personally would like to see it being taken aside to initiatives that further distribute it again to people, like the Protocolâs guild initiative that airdrop app tokens to underpaid core developers that build the things we rely on.
You can always create a proposal on the forum to figure a group worthy of the airdrop, yourself including.

It was voted to end on this proposal: [EP11] [Executable] End the $ENS and EP2 airdrops - ENS Documentation
Sorry it has ended for you. Youâre always welcome to create some proposal, but it would also need to go to vote.

Sorry to read your story here!
In my opinion, The tokens that werenât claimed could be more freely distributed and or used to help stimulate the ecosystem in some way.
I know there are plenty of people in the same boat as yourself as well. Not sure if itâs even worth trying to formulate a proposal any more though, it has been attempted and proposed by others in the recent months - as well as some form of second air drop etcâŚ
But it would appear that the âpowers that beâ control the tokens destiny
