Before a proposal is brought to a vote by a 3rd party, the proposer must indicate they wish to submit that proposal a vote.
Motivation
Recent events have highlighted this gap in the proposal rules. Submitters should have time to revise proposals and should not have their name attached to a proposal they have not chosen to submit.
I am open to consider other proposal related rules that the community thinks should be included.
Details
The proposer must indicate they wish to have a proposal submitted before a 3rd party can submit it for a vote, such as by replying “formally submitting” on the proposal’s forum thread.
Specification
As this proposal pertains to governance guidelines, it does not require any on-chain action or protocol change.
Disclaimer

Next Steps
If consensus is reached on this ARFC, escalate this proposal to the Snapshot stage.
If the Snapshot outcome is YAE, this proposal will be considered canon, and the guidelines will be adopted.
It’s a welcome addition to fix the previous loophole exploited recently. I think we should do a larger revisit of the framework, but this quick fix is a good idea, thanks for leveraging the ARFC ADDENDUM tool that was meant for these small scope proposals.
This proposal is Canon now, meaning that from now on, every proposal that needs to be escalated to either TEMP CHECK Snapshot, ARFC Snapshot, ARFC Addendum Snapshot, need explicit consent from the author to be escalated, shared via forum in the same proposal, in those cases where the a third party is the one submitting it for a vote.
