Could the Foundation please elaborate on why it deems necessary for the proposers to be part of another layer of governance (since this was not addressed in the current proposal [1])?

As pointed out in the post, it seems unnecessary (and even potentially damaging for Algorand) to require another assumption for the governance system to operate on; especially because the same requirements for making and approving proposals could be met without the addition of another layer.
