The community may vote in this poll to express support or opposition to the following Atlas Edit Monthly Cycle Proposal:

• Atlas Edit Pull Request
• Proposal Discussion Thread

A brief summary of this Atlas Edit has been provided by the Author and is shown below:

We currently require AD’s to stay anonymous and even pay bounties for users to reveal their identities. This is likely a large reason AD’s keep communications to a minimum to avoid being doxed. They cannot attend events in person, cannot speak personally, they are incentivized to participate less in Sky. They constantly have a target on their back. What the point of having a request for comments stage of Atlas proposals if people are pushed to never comment? I am pushing this proposal to make anonymity optional for AD’s, they can choose whether they want to be anonymous or not, and the bounty system will be eliminated. Should any member ever be sued, we have a legal defense fund. I’m also going to include in this proposal funding emergencies to defend AD’s such as if they need relocation or security. Going into the future we want active public governance, not cloak and dagger. Also on a practical note, why are we paying people to dox our delegates? That seems like a waste of money that can be better put to use elsewhere. We are not Silk Road and acting like it makes us seem criminal.
