It should clearly explain why the existing variable is not incentive aligned. SCCP submissions without sufficient motivation may be rejected outright.-->\n<p>Although I find that all the current Spartan members, with no exception, are simply great talented individuals and it would be really a shame to not include more people on the council (I'm referring to Jacko Wacko specifically). I believe that for the assigned responsibility, 7 members are more than enough to cater for requirements of voting on SIPs' and SCCPs'.\nMany have raised reasonable objections, that the current make-up &#x26; composition works great. I don't disagree on that point, but I can say that 7 members will not disappoint. Furthermore, with the recently announced grantsDAO and synthetix-ambassadors roles opening up, this would help in spreading talent on the different areas of the protocol.\nI do want to end by mentioning, that having a lower number of available seats helps in ensuring that stakeholders votes are focused on few (as opposed to spread out on many) and it also paves the way for a more thrilling voting experience.</p>\n<h2 id=\"copyright\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#copyright\" aria-label=\"copyright permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Copyright</h2>\n<p>Copyright and related rights waived via <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/\">CC0</a>.</p>"}},"pageContext":{"id":"5a433b2f-5caa-597b-8022-02e6eed80e86","frontmatter__sccp":76,"__params":{"frontmatter__sccp":"76"}}},"staticQueryHashes":[]}
