The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the Maker Community. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, August 1 at 16:00 UTC.

This is a binary vote.

• You may vote for a single option.
• You should vote for the option which you prefer.
• If you would accept either option, you should vote 'Abstain'.

Review

The community can vote in this poll to express support or opposition to the following changes:

• A tactical re-allocation of budgets following a framework developed by the Strategic Finance Core Unit (SF-001) in conjunction with Core Units, MKR holders, Recognized Delegates and the Maker Community.

Please review the discussion thread to help inform your position before voting.

Outcomes

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option then the following actions will be taken:

• The Strategic Finance Core Unit will co-ordinate the budget re-allocation process with Core Unit, MKR holders and Recognized Delegates.
• Any proposed changes to current Core Unit Budgets will be required to go through the approved governance processes.
• Any changes that are approved by MKR holders will be implemented via an Executive Vote, as the Protocol Engineering Core Unit's schedule allows.
• If the Executive Vote passes, then these changes will become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.

If the votes for the 'No' option equal or exceed the votes for the 'Yes' option then no further action will be taken at this time.
