## Specification

### Motivation

Recent events (see RWF-001 facilitator and MKR-001 offboardings below) have shown the process for involuntarily offboarding facilitators and core units could be improved. These changes are an attempt to make the process more transparent, orderly, and conducive to substantive discussion surrounding an offboarding proposal prior to a vote.

Additionally, after over a year of the Core Unit MIP Set ratification, we are proposing simple changes to the structure to reflect how Core Units exist in the DAO. We want to create a clearer and easier-to-navigate structure when it comes to creating, sustaining, and offboarding Core Units. 


#### Specific Goals

- Clarify that a Core Unit can be offboarded in the same governance cycle as removing its budget and facilitator(s).
- Establish a standard for proposers to include detailed reasoning.
- Add an explicit Facilitator succession plan so that election by active Facilitators becomes a fall-back process.
