This HIP introduces a change to the consensus election dynamics on the Helium L1 blockchain to provide additional tunability for the deselection scoring of current consensus group members. The aim is to more quickly and reliable eject poor performers from the group.

Code for this change has already been merged as blockchain-core PR 1468 helium/blockchain-core#1468

It's deployed (or in the process. see image below. left two bars are the viable versions) but behind a chain variable that's bound to the 1.15.x release. I believe it's a fair thing to have a HIP and a quick vote on (at least by validator operators) since it changes election dynamics.

I’d be supportive of this coming to a full discussion (for a few days), some education from the author and the foundation, and a relatively quick vote. Ideally we could activate this variable around Nov 1.
