# Monthly Governance Review | October 2021


## Top Governance News

With four Executive Votes passed and a plethora of new projects launching and gaining traction, October has been an especially productive month for MakerDAO.

The passage of the [final Executive of September on October 2nd](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-offboarding-usdt-collateral-core-unit-budget-distributions-october-1-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) kicked off the offboarding of several collateral types with USDT and also included Core Unit budget distributions for the month.

The following [October 7th Executive](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-offboarding-vaults-mkr-vesting-and-core-unit-budget-distribution-october-8-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) ramped up offboarding by finalizing the shutdown of BAT-A, LRC-A, ZRX-A, UNIV2AAVEETH-A, and UNIV2LINKETH-A. This Executive also included more funds for Core Units.

The [October 21st Executive](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-parameter-changes-wsteth-a-onboarding-october-22-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) onboarded staked ETH (wstETH) as a collateral type and included several parameter changes detailed below in “Parameter Changes & Vault Upgrades.”

And last but certainly not least, the [October 28th Executive](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-aave-d3m-onboarding-and-core-unit-budget-transfers-october-29-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) included the onboarding of the Aave Direct Deposit Module (D3M), along with budget streaming to the Growth Core Unit as well as the newly onboarded Data Insights Core Unit.

It has also been a huge month for many of the projects MakerDAO has been working on:

- [G-UNIV3-DAI-USDC1-A (G-UNI)](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/g-uni-dai-usdc-uniswap-v3-lp-erc20-collateral-onboarding-application/9026) hit its debt ceiling twice after going live in September; first at its initial debt ceiling of $10m and again only two days after its increase to $50m.
- The [Dai Direct Deposit Module (D3M)](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-aave-d3m-onboarding-and-core-unit-budget-transfers-october-29-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) launched and is off to a hot start, also reaching its initial debt ceiling in less than 48 hours.
- [Wrapped Staked Ether (WstETH)](https://vote.makerdao.com/executive/template-executive-vote-parameter-changes-wsteth-a-onboarding-october-22-2021?network=mainnet#proposal-detail) also saw an explosive launch, scraping up against its initial debt ceiling of $10mil in just over a day.

Vote delegation also saw significant shifts after the former Recognized Delegate, Planet_X, announced an indefinite sabbatical from the DAO. A snapshot of the current Governance landscape can be found in the “Key Outcomes” section below.

These smart contracts represent efficiency improvements to the executive spell workflow and directly affect the Maker Protocol.

More information can be found on the forum post [here.](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/technical-tasks-included-in-the-october-29th-executive/11284)

### Community Greenlight Polls

Greenlight Polls allow MKR token holders to signal their preferences for collateral types proposed through [Collateral Onboarding Applications.](https://forum.makerdao.com/c/MIPs/co/17) Community greenlight polls occur at fixed times each governance cycle, starting on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month and run for two full weeks.

The month of August had four Community Greenlight polls:

| Asset | Date Began | Date Ended | Voted Yes | Voted No | Voted Abstain |
| :---: | :---------: | :-------: | :-------: | :------: | :-----------: |
| [CurveLP-stETH-ETH](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/Qmd1qpHU?network=mainnet) | October 4 | October 18 | **34,301.72 MKR (54.77%)** | 0.00 MKR (0.00%) | 28,325.95 MKR (45.23%) |

## What’s Ahead?


As we roll into November, there are a few things to look forward to.

There are Community Greenlight Polls for [MD Irradiance LLC](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/Qmf3G3eu?network=mainnet) and [Olympus DAO](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/QmUVQdj5?network=mainnet), which are active until November 15th.

The month of October contained many signal requests; some of them have not yet made it into executive voting, such as [launching Nexo Institutional Vault](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-nexo-institutional-vault/10046) and [increasing maximum Delegate compensation to 144k Dai](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-should-we-increase-maximum-delegate-compensation-as-described-in-mip61-to-144k-dai-for-the-initial-3-month-delegate-compensation-trial/11093). They will be up for vote soon.

Regarding Delegation, @ultraschuppi arrives into the ring [as a Recognized Delegate](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/ultraschuppi-delegate-platform/11193). Check out [Meet Your Delegate #5 with UltraSchuppi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3483QFS4_qQ&t=28s). Look out for his addition to the [Monthly Delegate Round-up](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/delegate-round-up-october-2021/11336) for November.

The [Clean Money initiative](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/the-case-for-clean-money/10684) for MakerDAO received mixed outcomes; The [Sagittarius Engine signal request](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/signal-request-turn-off-burner-fuel-up-sagittarius-engine/10724) did not pass. However, a [sentiment poll for Clean Money](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/Qmdumzrv?network=mainnet#poll-detail) *did pass.* In order for MakerDAO to continue on the best path forward, there will likely be more polls and votes within the upcoming months to help improve the next steps and objectives.

Finally, there has been much discussion regarding the [MIP in RFC for offboarding the current facilitator of the Real World Finance Core Unit](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip41c5-sp2-facilitator-offboarding-rwf-001/11306). Solutions and next steps are being made to continue with a best-decision approach for MakerDAO and its community. Keep an eye out for future posts on this discussion.
