Aragon Network Vote #1 Review by John Light (Community at Aragon One).

After the approval of AGP-1, the Aragon Governance Proposal process, by ANT holders in November 2018, the Aragon community began preparing for the first official vote under the new system. Proposals were readied and submitted, reviewed by the Aragon Association (AA) Board of Directors, and finally voted on by ANT holders from January 24–26, 2019. This post reviews what went well and what could be improved in Aragon Network Vote #1 (ANV-01), as informed by both John’s perspective as one of the AGP Editors and based on results from a brief survey that was released for feedback at the same time as the final results blog post. As such the commentary will be a mix of his opinions and feedback received from others.

You can find the results from the feedback survey here.
