Dang you are right Thomas! I'm just pretty excited about this proposal and
sparking a discussion on this issue.
Here's some updates and thoughts:
- Luke said: "BIPs wouldn't be recognised as such because nobody cares
to meet the higher requirements"
- Possibly true, but maybe not! I think people like having a say
especially people with a lot of money on the line or those who are really
passionate about Bitcoin
- One counter example, I emailed all the sponsors of the workshop
conference about their stance in regards to scalability going into the
workshop and I got a 47% response rate (with 21% responding with
a concrete
answer). See here:

- One example that agrees with you, I talked to the #bitcoin-assets
community and they seemed very against participating in future
BIPs or even
allowing discussion with people outside their community:

- I'm seeking a historian or political science expert to assist me in
this area. If you guys know any I'd be glad to talk to them about working
with them.
- Many people are complaining about the stake part, and are worried
about the ambiguity. I firmly believe that proof of stake is a poor voting
mechanism because it gives the most power to those that have a lot of
money.
- I think proof of stake might work for merchants to prove they have
a decent economic stake if they sign with a well-known cold
wallet address,
but I agree with someone that said merchants may be hesitant about doing
that.
