Poll: Adjust the Debt Floor (dust) - January 23, 2023

The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of the Risk Core Unit. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Monday, January 23 at 16:00 UTC.

This is an instant-runoff vote.

• You may rank any number of options that you would support in an executive vote.
• Unranked options signal that you would not support the option(s) in an executive vote.
• If you have no preference to any of the listed options, you should vote ‘Abstain’ as your first and only choice.

Review

The community can vote in this poll to rank their support of the following options to changing the Debt Floor (Dust):

• Option 1 - Broad Reduction
  • Reduce dust for ETH-A, WBTC-A, and WSTETH-A to 5,000 DAI
  • Reduce dust for ETH-C, WBTC-C, and WSTETH-B to 2,500 DAI
  • Reduce dust for ETH-B and WBTC-B to 15,000 DAI
  • Reduce dust for CRVV1ETHSTETH-A, LINK-A, YFI-A, and MATIC-A to 10,000 DAI
• Option 2 - Limited Reduction
  • Reduce dust for ETH-A, WBTC-A, and WSTETH-A to 7,500 DAI
  • Reduce dust for ETH-C, WBTC-C, and WSTETH-B to 3,500 DAI
  • Reduce dust for ETH-B and WBTC-B to 25,000 DAI
• No Change
  • Keep dust unchanged across all collateral types.

Please review the discussion thread to help inform your position before voting.

Outcomes

If a non-‘Abstain’ option receives more votes than each other option (excluding ‘Abstain’) and the votes for that option exceed 50% of the total votes cast then that option is deemed the winner and the following actions will be taken:

• If the winner represents a change from the status quo, this change will be included in an upcoming Executive Vote as the Protocol Engineering Core Unit’s schedule allows.
• It is expected that this Executive Vote will take place within 30 days of this poll passing, absent external factors.
• If the Executive Vote passes, then these changes will become active in the Maker Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.

If no option has enough votes to exceed 50% of the total votes cast, then no further actions will be taken at this time.
