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 this proposal being accepted and implemented in the Maker Protocol.

The proposal in its entirety can be found here. The sentence summary and paragraph summary have been provided by the MIP author:

Sentence Summary

MIP40c3-SP12 supersedes the budget for the Real-World Finance Core Unit defined in MIP40c3-SP1.

Paragraph Summary

With MIP40c3-SP1 the Real-World Finance team was able to onboard the first Real-World Asset and provide some financials for MakerDAO. Nevertheless, as no Legal Core Unit is expected in the short term, we need to increase the budget for legal expenses. We also need to solidify the data analytics part, which is currently limited, to integrate MakerDAO and RWA data to provide transparency and insights to stakeholders.

Please review the discussion thread to inform your position on this proposal before voting. It was also mentioned and possibly discussed on the Governance and Risk call on Thursday, June 10.

Outcomes

This poll implements a Minimum Positive Participation value. The Minimum Positive Participation is currently set to 10,000 MKR.

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option AND at least 10,000 MKR have voted in favor of this poll, then the following actions will be taken:

• The MIP Editors will mark the proposal Accepted and the Governance Facilitators will confirm its passage on the Governance and Risk call on Thursday, July 1.
• The proposal will be added to the Maker Protocol, with implementation tasked to the relevant Core Unit and Domain Teams.

If the votes for the Yes' option DO NOT exceed the votes for the 'No' option, OR less than 10,000 MKR vote in favor of this proposal, then this proposal will be marked as rejected per MIP51.
