@cp0x, under the _interface for voting_ do you mean Aragon (on-chain) only, or Aragon and the Snapshot (off-chain)? For the latter, we have no power over the Snapshot platform product development (which imho hs introduced some very nice improvements), or potentially we do by interacting with the Snapshot team or via a grant, but I do not believe this is a priority for time and budget allocation now.

In my opinion, changing Aragon without changing the Snapshot has little to no sense as soon as, in a nutshell, the Snapshot plays two roles: (1) a signal vote and then move to Aragon; (2) the vote only here. So your suggested improvements should be also reflected there.

Regarding the changes themselves, 1,2, and 4,5 sound ok to me, although I am not sure there is a high demand for them across the community and LDO token holders. Nevertheless, they may be very helpful in case of any issues with the voting result or maybe for Lido contributors when evaluating the delegators’ performance.

I do not support 3 “_add the Abstain option_”. A conflict of interest should not be an excuse for not voting, as in the Public Delegate Code of Conduct it is mentioned:

> [@Establish a Public Delegate Platform and Delegate Incentivization Program](https://research.lido.fi/t/establish-a-public-delegate-platform-and-delegate-incentivization-program/7858/1):
>
> **Public Delegate Code of Conduct:**  
> • Vote in the Lido DAO’s best interest.  
> • Avoid and disclose any conflicts of interest.

I understand the reasoning behind including the Abstain option as a signal from the delegate that the vote has not been missed (rather than not voting at all) if there is no expertise in a specific proposal, but it may become a loophole for any hard or tricky decision the delegate or another voter does not want to make.
