> [@tamlerner](#): > > ## Eligibility criteria > > To qualify each month, a delegate must meet all of the following: > > - Minimum 50,000 stRIF delegation > - 90% or more of proposals voted > - 90% or more of votes with written rationale > - Minimum 3 hours read time on the forum > - Minimum 5 likes received We would like to ask for a clarification on the eligibility criteria. The conclusion from the discussion in the [New Delegate Compensation scheme](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/new-delegate-compensation-scheme/849/14) thread appears to differ from what was published in this update, which means the results would look different depending on which criteria are actually being applied. Looking at the May results, it seems the compensation was still calculated based on the discussion thread conclusion rather than the criteria listed here. For example, if the 5 likes minimum from this update were applied, some delegates who qualified in May would not have. That’s where our confusion comes from. We just want to make sure we all have a shared understanding of which criteria are in effect going forward, especially since the delegate community spent time discussing and voting on these parameters together. @tamlerner @Raphael_Anode --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/introducing-recognized-delegate-compensation/622)._
