The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the MakerDAO Risk Domain Team. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, December 14 at 16:00 UTC.

This is a binary vote. In a binary vote, you may vote for a single option. You should vote for the option which you prefer. Alternatively, if you would accept either of the two options and have no preference between them, you should vote 'Abstain'.

Review

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

• Initially, the only peg stability module to be deployed will be for USDC.
• The debt ceilings for USDC-A, TUSD-A, PAX-A, and GUSD-A will drop to zero DAI.
• The USDC PSM will be implemented with the parameters given below.

Proposed USDC PSM Parameters

• The tin parameter will be set to 1% initially and will decrease to 0.1% over 7 days. tin refers to the fee when trading USDC in exchange for DAI.
• The tout parameter will be set to 0.1%. tout refers to the fee when trading DAI in exchange for USDC.

Outcomes

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