<p>The Neo Council has voted to reduce the registration fee for Council candidacy from 1,000 GAS to 750 GAS, effective Thursday, Nov. 19. The decision – signed by COZ, Nash, Flamingo, Everstake, Neo SPCC, NEXT, Neo News Today, Neo Global Development, InfStones, and AxLabs – forms part of a broader governance initiative aimed at increasing accessibility, competition, and accountability within the Neo Council.</p>
<adv/><p>The fee reduction follows a decision made at the Centre Point meetup held in Singapore in September, and reflects an early step in a broader effort to promote inclusivity within Neo’s governance framework. While modest, the update signals a gesture of good faith toward aspiring Council participants, helping lower the barrier to entry for those who may seek candidacy.</p>
<adv/><h2>Flattening of GAS rewards</h2>
<p>Efforts are also underway to flatten GAS rewards so voters are not penalized for backing candidates outside the ranked positions. Today, NEO token holders do not receive GAS rewards for votes cast outside the top 21, a structure that discourages support for newcomers and entrenches incumbents.</p>
<p>At Centre Point, Council members agreed in principle to move toward a flattened model, with the Core Development team to determine the safest, most technically sound implementation path.</p>
<p>The current roll-out plan includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Proof-of-node: require any candidate eligible for a top-7 consensus seat to run an active node, reducing the risk of consensus disruption by underprepared members.</li>
<li>Flatten within the Council: equalise GAS rewards across sitting Council members so voters can choose freely without sacrificing returns.</li>
<li>Extend beyond the top 21: broaden flattening so votes for any registered candidate carry equal reward potential.</li>
</ul>
<p>The goals are to let token holders vote their preference without losing rewards, increase competition among Council members, and create a credible path for new entrants based on service quality and community engagement.</p>
<h2>Governance platform in development</h2>
<p>A new governance platform is also in development to formalize proposal submission, Council voting, and community participation. The MVP, led by the Flamingo team, is available for testing and feedback via the #council-and-core channel in the official Neo Discord. The initial release focuses on Council member node-claiming, account registration, and proposal submission with threaded discussion.</p>
<p>Longer term, the platform is designed to serve as a transparent, inclusive hub for governance. Council members will gain visibility into token-holder sentiment through discussion activity and, over time, token-weighted preference signals. Token holders will be able to evaluate Council participation via activity logs and voting histories, helping them make more informed decisions. By lowering the friction to propose, discuss, and review decisions, the initiative is aimed at improving transparency and strengthening decentralized participation across the ecosystem.</p>
<p>A follow-up Neo Council call is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 25, to continue discussions on Centre Point deliverables and other governance matters. The session will be recorded and made publicly available.</p>

Neo Council lowers Council Registration fee as part of broader governance reform strategy

Neo理事會投票決定將理事會候選人註冊費從1000 GAS降至750 GAS，自11月19日（週四）起生效。該決定由COZ、Nash、Flamingo、Everstake、 Neo SPCC等簽署。

<div><div><p>Neo理事會投票決定將理事會候選人註冊費從 1,000 GAS 降至 750 GAS，自 11 月 19 日星期四起生效。該決定由 COZ、Nash、Flamingo、Everstake、 Neo SPCC、NEXT、 Neo News Today、 Neo Global Development、InfStones 和 AxLabs 簽署，是旨在提高Neo理事會內部的准入性、競爭性和問責制的更廣泛治理舉措的一部分。</p><adv/><p>此次費用減免是根據9月份在新加坡舉行的Centre Point會議上做出的決定，也是Neo在治理框架內促進包容性方面邁出的第一步。雖然幅度不大，但此次調整體現了Neo對有意加入理事會成員的誠意，有助於降低候選人的准入門檻。</p><adv/><h2> GAS獎勵趨於平緩</h2><p>目前也在努力調整 GAS 獎勵機制，以避免選民因支持排名靠後的候選人而受到懲罰。如今， Neo代幣持有者如果投票給排名前 21 的候選人，將無法獲得 GAS 獎勵。這種機制不利於新人獲得支持，反而鞏固了現任者的地位。</p><p>在中心點會議上，理事會成員原則上同意採用扁平化模式，由核心開發團隊確定最安全、技術上最合理的實施路徑。</p><p>目前的推廣計劃包括：</p><ul><li>節點證明：要求任何有資格進入前 7 個共識席位的候選人運行一個活躍節點，從而降低準備不足的成員破壞共識的風險。</li><li>在議會內部實現公平分配：使現任議員的 GAS 獎勵均等化，以便選民可以自由選擇而不犧牲回報。</li><li>將範圍擴大到前 21 名之外：擴大平局範圍，使任何註冊候選人的選票都具有同等的回報潛力。</li></ul><p>目標是讓代幣持有者在不損失獎勵的情況下投票表達自己的偏好，增加理事會成員之間的競爭，並基於服務質量和社區參與度為新進入者創造一條可信的道路。</p><h2>治理平臺正在開發中</h2><p>一個新的治理平臺正在開發中，旨在規範提案提交、理事會投票和社區參與流程。由 Flamingo 團隊主導的 MVP 版本已發佈，可通過官方Neo Discord 服務器的 #council-and-core 頻道進行測試和反饋。初始版本主要功能包括理事會成員節點認領、賬戶註冊以及提案提交和主題討論。</p><p>從長遠來看，該平臺旨在成為一個透明、包容的治理中心。理事會成員將通過討論活動了解代幣持有者的情緒，並隨著時間的推移，獲得代幣加權偏好信號。代幣持有者可以通過活動日誌和投票記錄評估理事會的參與情況，從而做出更明智的決策。通過降低提案、討論和審查決策的門檻，該計劃旨在提高透明度，並加強整個生態系統的去中心化參與。</p><p>Neo理事會將於11月25日（週二）召開後續電話會議，繼續討論中心點項目的交付成果和其他治理事項。會議將進行錄音並向公眾公開。</p></div></div>

Neo理事會降低理事會註冊費，這是其更廣泛的治理改革策略的一部分。
