Dear Delegates, A recent proposal on this topic was submitted on Tally that unfortunately does **not meet the minimum submission requirements** as defined in the governance rules: 📌 **Requirement** : Any proposal must receive **explicit approval from at least 4 Top 100 delegates** prior to being submitted onchain. 🔗 Proposal in question: [Tally Proposal](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/obol/proposal/42716918524819099764719128892074936994976810846828605915610483046231685146403) As this proposal was submitted without the required endorsements, it will be **considered invalid** and will likely be **cancelled on Tally** in the coming hours. 🛑 We kindly ask delegates **not to cast any votes** , as the outcome will not be enforceable in any case. This is a good opportunity to remind everyone to carefully follow the **proposal lifecycle and approval flow** before triggering an onchain vote. If in doubt, feel free to reach out beforehand. Thank you for your attention and your continued participation. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.obol.org/t/exceptional-claim-process-for-early-contributors-who-missed-the-deadline/501)._
