Short Ratification Poll to Amend MIP64 to allow more flexibility in scope (MIP4c3-SP3) - April 18, 2022

The Governance Facilitators have placed a ratification poll into the voting system as part of the responsibilities defined in MIP16. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, April 18 at 16:00 UTC.

As per MIP4c3, and passage of the required Signal Request, this subproposal meets the requirements to be entered into the Weekly Governance Cycle.

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 may vote in this poll to express support or opposition to MIP4c3-SP3 being accepted and implemented in the Maker Protocol.

A brief summary of this proposal has been provided by the MIP Author and is shown below:

During Feb 2022, we had two bug submissions for web vulns that were troublesome to categorize (post-mortems coming soon). A month later, bounties for these bugs are still being negotiated. A great deal of time was spent trying to find resolutions that seemed fair to both sides, for the whitehats and DUX. The change here would give more discretion to IS-001 to determine the bug bounty scope. This will allow us to refine the rules to reduce gray areas and potential disagreements.
