    "comment": "RCADA votes ABSTAIN on Name the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen”.\n\nThis is a respectful abstention.\n\nRCADA fully supports the intent of this Info Action. Fabian von Bergen, also known as Zyroxa, was a long-standing Cardano community member, SPO, Cardano Ambassador, Forum contributor, and respected voice in the ecosystem. Naming the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen” would be a meaningful tribute to his contribution and a respectful way to preserve his name in Cardano’s history.\n\nRCADA does not object to honouring Fabian. The proposal is non-financial, symbolic, and community-focused. It does not request Treasury funds, does not change protocol parameters, and does not create operational risk for the network.\n\nHowever, RCADA also takes governance process seriously. The Constitutional Committee concerns appear to relate to the form of the submission, not the substance of the tribute. Specifically, the objection raised is that the off-chain metadata document is hosted at a mutable URL rather than through an immutable content-addressed source. This creates a potential issue under the Constitution’s requirement that governance-action supporting documents be immutable and incapable of being altered after submission.\n\nFor RCADA, this creates a difficult balance. On the one hand, the intent of the action is honourable and appropriate. On the other hand, metadata immutability is not a trivial technicality. It is an important governance safeguard that helps ensure DReps, SPOs, the Constitutional Committee, and the wider community are all evaluating the same final version of a proposal.\n\nRCADA therefore abstains rather than voting No. A No vote could be misunderstood as opposition to recognising Fabian, which is not RCADA’s position. RCADA’s abstention reflects support for the tribute while also acknowledging the procedural concern raised around the submission format.\n\nRCADA would welcome the action being resubmitted with immutable metadata, such as IPFS or another suitable content-addressed source, so that the community can support the tribute without the same constitutional-process concern.\n\nWith respect to Fabian von Bergen and his contribution to Cardano, RCADA abstains on this submission while supporting the spirit of the proposal.\n\nRCADA’s full vote assessment can be found here:\nhttps://brolloks.github.io/rcada-drep-votes/"
