What to do about this foundation poll (developer reimbursement) and its mandate/minimum vote weight ?
The Developer Reimbursement 6 Month Package poll has ended:
- 15.87% of all voting shares took part in this. So, less than 20%
- and it was approved by 98.5%
And now let's look at this poll from February:
- Poll mechanism: Should there be a minimum vote weight required for foundation polls?
- 17.48% of all voting shares took part back then, and the outcome was:
- yes, 20% minimum vote weight required for foundation polls, by 27.78% of the shares (see also my comment here)
- aggregated, you could also say: 20% or more vote weight wanted by 56.85% of the voters. see picture below
And at the following poll (Feb/March):
- Meta poll: What is the minimum vote weight that should be required for mandate behind a poll to be valid?
- only 1.32% of all voting shares took part
- and best answer was: 25% (by 72.49%)
And there are more related polls, see March:
- 4.41% participation: Meta poll: If A Poll Attempts To Establish A Minimum Vote Weight Requirement For Future Polls , Should The Poll In Question Require An Equal Level Of Vote Weight Participation To Be Considered Legitimate?
- best answer = yes (99.71%)
- 4.11% participation: Meta poll: How Should We Interpret The Outcome Of A Poll?
- best answer = proportional representation (75.28%)

The fact that the expense poll had a high participation of 15.8% is a very good number, and with 198 voters this is a historic high in participation.
I don't think there is any doubt that the poll has been approved.
The two polls you are referring to never came to a consensus on how much a poll needed to be approved.
Meta Poll : If A Poll Attempts To Establish A Minimum Vote Weight Requirement For Future Polls , Should The Poll In Question Require An Equal Level Of Vote Weight Participation To Be Considered Legitimate?
Should There Be A Minimum Vote Weight Required For Foundation Polls?
Result: Failing due to the Meta Poll
Meta Poll : What Is The Minimum Vote Weight That Should Be Required For Mandate Behind A Poll To Be Valid?
Result: Failing due to the Meta Poll
Conclusion
We have no minimum vote weight established yet and should consider a poll with so much vote weight and voting participation to be acknowledged and approved.
