When a broker leaves a proposal before the minimum number of epochs has passed, their stake is added into the pool of funds. So the question is, when a proposal is cancelled, to whom is this share of funds returned to? Though that broker has now technically contributed funds to the proposal, the stake is meant to incentivize committing to a period of continuous work, so the broker shouldn’t be rewarded with possible voting privileges when they left the proposal prematurely. Thus, the released staked funds will be treated as if they were the group of brokers were payers. This means that when a proposal is cancelled, any funds that were from brokers who left without their stake will be allocated to the brokers on top of the minimum horizon.
