First to clarify again on request, this discussion is initiated by DAO members Stakeridoo and Coinchowder.  
Any change to the voting mechanism requires a vote. At the same time, it is important to mention that we are in the process of reviewing the charter and should simply start a discussion based on previous experience.

A custom token like a VDAO token can be added or removed at any time. this is no problem @Pistake

I really like the idea of @Coinchowder like having a quadtric system. Since this was discussed before [HIP-12: Vote equality - #45 by Sam](https://talk.harmony.one/t/hip-12-vote-equality/1781/45)

@TrickLuhDaKidz Our contact form asks for some kind of way to contact the validator. But it’s not a requirement. The idea is just as you mentioned to have the data in case of emergency and to be able to contact active validators easier. But if we now say only those could vote who also actively participate and fill in the form we would have a simpler solution for that proposal: [HIP-21: Governance Flag Proposals](https://talk.harmony.one/t/hip-21-governance-flag-proposals/4286)

We would like to organize an AMA on this topic so that as many people as possible can give their input to find a solution together.
