July 27, 2020

The Governance Facilitators have placed an Executive Vote into the voting system which will enable the community to approve the following alterations to the protocol.

Monthly Governance Cycle Bundle

As per MIP3: Governance Cycle, this bundle consists of the proposals that have met the prior requirements to be included in the monthly MIPs executive. These proposals are as follows:

Maker Improvement Proposals

Increase the ETH-A Debt Ceiling

Additionally, the Risk Team has requested that the ETH-A debt ceiling be raised as an emergency measure due to the recent bullishness of ETH (Ether) with the aim of maintaining the Dai peg.

The Risk Team has called for the ETH-A debt ceiling to be increased from 220 to 260 million.
