Delegated VP should be made to expire

Governance

Proxy-Voting is a key tool of Democracy; representative systems are commonly used in RL countries around the world.

A number of stakeholders will not have the availability or the expertise to themselves properly weigh in on important governmental voting. It is crucial to have the possibility of delegating this responsibility to a person in whom they trust.

Delegated Democracy can be considered an upgrade to Representative Democracy, made possible thanks to the power of web3.

Nevertheless, even in Representative Democracies, proxy-voting power eventually expires, as officials are submitted to cycles of re-elections. Land-owners who left the country must still keep appraised of governance happenings in order to keep “participating”.

This dynamic should truly be reflected in any form of Delegated Democracy, especially when the land in question is in a Metaverse.

Ok about adding the feature…
but shouldn’t VP owners have the freedom to set expiration?

Yes and it shouldn’t be a problem, software allows for a lot of flexibility (a VP Delegation Slider is also something which should be easy to implement by the way).

However there should obviously still be a maximum time which VP owners could set as expiration.

Ah, okay. By the title, it looked mandatory.

If you and others need the feature I think is good. I don’t need it myself.
I nobody wants to use it, I think it is not necessary.
