More diverse and wider-community POVs are highly desirable. As Stewards, we serve the community. Even the community that is not highly visible, or present, in our daily calls. Though how much wider-community participation we can expect is a question. It takes time and commitment to understand the origin, process, strengths and flaws of Praise and Praise Quantification, of TEC Impact Hours and what we mean by the “builders” distribution, of the unique circumstances of the people involved, and then, after grokking all this, having the confidence to make a decision that may affect other people’s lives in ways they are not sure they can imagine or affect the TEC in ways they cannot be certain of. I am sympathetic to the challenges present here. Yet I still think that more should be heard and their perspectives sincerely considered. On the subject of the decision space, this is not an area I have any expertise. Looking at this rationally, here is my thinking: On having an initial yes/no vote on whether to have an intervention or not: - If the interventions are not first defined, then the alternatives to a no-intervention are unknown. Effectively, a yes-intervention vote would commit one to an intervention without knowing the specifics of the interventions to be proposal. - If the interventions are first defined, then the alternative choices to no-intervention are known at the time of the vote. On having a vote for all proposals, one being no-intervention, at the same time: - I concede the point, @JessicaZartler, that the yes-intervention vote will be split in this case. - The idea of totalling the yes votes presents some problems as I see it. Rather than splitting the vote, it introduces a multiplier. I wonder how that can that be resolved. - One possibility is having only one proposal for yes-intervention and one for no-intervention. - Another possibility is a runoff of the top two voted proposals no matter what they are. On 1-person 1-vote versus token-weighted voting: - 1-person 1-vote presents the following problem: should the long tail of dozens of people with less than 4 IH carry the same weight as the relatively few people with dozens of IH? Probably not. - Token-weighted voting presents the following problem: Taking into account the distribution is what is being decided, should “whales” essentially make this decision? Probably not. - Token-weighted with a method to add caps to different brackets (0-50, 51-100, 101-150, ….)? On the subject of open-to-intervention versus closed-to-intervention, - I remain open to learning the results of the data analysis and making the best decision we can with all the information at our disposal. --- _[View the full topic](https://tec.mycostack.xyz/t/pre-hatch-impact-hours-distribution-analysis/376)._
