Poll: Amend MIP64 to clarify critical web bounty amount (MIP4c3-SP1) - March 14, 2022

The Governance Facilitators have placed this poll into the voting system as part of the responsibilities defined in MIP4. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, March, 14 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 amending MIP64 with MIP4c3-SP1 to clarify critical web bounty amount.

The proposal author offered the following motivation for this amendment to MIP64c3:

The reward for Critical website and application bug reports was not specified as intended. The reward was specified at 100,000 DAI “if the impact leads to a direct loss in funds or a manipulation of the votes or the voting result, as well as the modification of its display leading to a misrepresentation of the result or vote.” This part is clear. “All other impacts that would be classified as Critical would be rewarded no more than USD 50,000.” The words no more than suggest that an inequality is intended. That is, bounty <= $50k instead of bounty = $50k.

We omit the words “no more than” to obtain the intended reward mechanics.
