To begin with, “Doxing” is the act of revealing personal information about someone online without their consent. The use of this term in a Governance context is hardly appropriate.

This is just not true.  
VP holders who wish to not participate in DAO proceedings can simply Delegate their VP.

VP holders who received delegated VP but also do not wish to not participate in DAO proceedings, should be able to simply re-delegate this VP.  
VP is not a kind of “honor point system”. VP is not a “reward” to be awarded to “those you feel deserve it” !  
VP a “decision power” force. There should be no issue seeing one’s VP re-delegated to someone who is trusted by this person _in whom you trust_.  
Total control still remains if VP can be un-delegated in all cases.

This sounds like the beginnings of a [Bloated Government](https://fee.org/articles/whats-so-bad-about-big-government-anyway).

VP holders can Delegate their VP, which if done properly, should be able to generate this kind of Executive body all the same, while preserving the decentralization the DAO currently has.

There are a few issues with the current VP system which make it hard for this “decision power” to properly coagulate. I suggest we try to fix those first, before rushing to a solution as drastic as the creation of a Council. Making it possible to re-delegate VP is one of them

I shall endeavor in forthcoming posts to clearly describe all the fixes that I have in mind.
