Poll: Decrease the BAT-A Debt Ceiling - January 18, 2021

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, January 18 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 abstain.

Review

MKR Token Holders may vote in this poll to express support or opposition to adjusting the BAT-A Debt Ceiling:

• Decrease from 10 million DAI to 2 million DAI.

Please review the discussion thread to inform your position on this issue before voting.

Outcomes

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

• This parameter change will be included in the weekly Executive Vote on the Friday following the conclusion of this poll.
• If the Friday executive passes, then this parameter change 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.
