Someone check me on this if they want, but we can use Hedgey to give contributors vesting contracts that allow them to vote on day one.

I love the intention of this initiative, truly. Reimagining delegates as active security nodes (similar to the Ethereum validator set) is a powerful, proven framework to draw from.
One issue I take with it though is that there are several trust assumptions that the DAO would have to concede to in order to run the pilot.
→ offchain administration
→ fund custody
→ manual parameters
I’d say that, for the sake of experimentation, we should let this pilot rip. Long term, however, I’d love to see an onchain solution for this, such as the validator-style governance model I’m musing on here: [RFC] Aligning Governance and Developer Incentives on Namechain - #7 by estmcmxci
