That’s not how governance on Astar works @Dino 
The beauty of efficient governance is that requesters can receive feedback and refine their proposal until they have satisfied voters / decision makers.
The fact that public holders voted nay for long lock up period should not be a factor in a re-submission of any proposal. Holders make their decisions for a lock-up period and need to abide by that decision.
Sfy have refined their proposal to the council while addressing their feedback.
They meet the criteria to re-apply due to the number of Astar being requested.
The number of AYE votes absolutely does show an appetite for this game and what Sfy can achieve.
Refer to this linked post from @Gaius_sama who even invites another proposal attempt in this comment
We’d be happy to see a revised version that includes more information around user engagement, measurable impact, and the strategic benefits for Astar.
