xGov Council sixth meeting covers quorum thresholds, delegation, and community working groups
The xGov Council held its sixth meeting on November 26, 2025, addressing four governance items: sliding quorum thresholds for proposal approval, improved communication between the Foundation and the Council, a delegation platform for vote representation, and the creation of community working groups with defined budgets to maintain ecosystem components.
On quorum thresholds, the Council discussed the Foundation's plan to use a sliding model that adjusts the minimum participation level needed to approve proposals, trading off ease of approval against the risk of increased spam.
