# MIP4c2-SP29: Introduce Abstain Modifier in MIP61 ## Preamble ``` MIP4c2-SP#: 29 MIP to be amended: MIP61 Author(s): @ultraschuppi Contributors: Tags: delegation, mip-amendment, process Status: RFC Date Proposed: 2022-11-06 Date Ratified: <yyyy-mm-dd> Forum URL: https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip4c2-spxx-amend-mip61-to-tighten-up-recognized-delegate-participation-metrics/18696 ``` ## Specification ### Motivation In the current form, [MIP61](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/blob/master/MIP61/MIP61.md) treats participation in onchain polls regardless of the vote Recognized Delegates are casting. This amendment removes the eligibility for compensation if a Recognized Delegate fails to meet a threshold of non-abstaining votes. ### Amended MIPs and Components [MIP61: Recognized Delegate Compensation](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP61) ### Amendment Pull Request * [Abstain Modifier](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/pull/698) ### Relevant Information None yet. --- # MIP4c2-SP30: Increase Executive Vote Weight and Tighten up Timing Requirements for Participation Metrics in MIP61 ## Preamble ``` MIP4c2-SP#: 30 MIP to be amended: MIP61 Author(s): @ultraschuppi Contributors: Tags: delegation, mip-amendment, process Status: RFC Date Proposed: 2022-11-06 Date Ratified: <yyyy-mm-dd> Forum URL: https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip4c2-spxx-amend-mip61-to-tighten-up-recognized-delegate-participation-metrics/18696 ``` ## Specification ### Motivation Due to the security and operational concerns that surround executive votes, these votes should have a higher relative weight when calculating participation metrics. This amendment increases the executive vote weight by a factor of five. Additionally, likewise in pursuit of increased security, this amendment tightens up the timing requirements for voting on executive votes for Recognized Delegates in relation to said metrics. ### Amended MIPs and Components [MIP61: Recognized Delegate Compensation](https://mips.makerdao.com/mips/details/MIP61) ### Amendment Pull Request * [Higher Participation Requirements and Weighting for Executive Votes](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/pull/699) ### Relevant Information None yet.
