### MIPs

[Weekly MIPs Update #65](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/weekly-mips-update-65/12033)


- Last date for proposals that intend to enter January’s Governance Cycle was Wednesday 8th. The reason for this is:
- That proposals that haven’t fulfilled their Feedback Period cannot be formally submitted
- And the Feedback Period spans a minimum of 28 days
- And the Formal Submission Window for January closing on Wednesday 3rd
- Once posted, proposals will be open to overt community feedback and authors will have 21 days to act on that feedback (they must honor the one-week Frozen Period!).

### Forum at a Glance

[Forum at a Glance: December 2 - 9](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/forum-at-a-glance-december-2-9-2021/12119)

## Team-led Discussions

### **Mandated Actors**


#### Types of Delegate Authority

- How do we distribute a healthy balance of power of delegation that will naturally promote good and healthy decisions?
- Authority and privelages are not completely defined - some Mandated Actors now can put themselves at risk.
- There needs to be a place where members can find an individual's authority and privilages.
- Future MIP authors/editors should be more explicit and detailed regarding any authority involved.

#### Deal Negotiations and Partner Relations

- We need to improve our timeliness on deal negotiations, which is currently our weakness.
- Creating a working group good be one approach to help improve Core Unit decision-making.
- However, we don't need it to be black and white; we can have CUs pick their own method to balance our pros and cons.
- It's becoming difficult to scale our methods used as numbers of polls and opportunities increase.
- We cannot sustain by continuing to go through Governance for all onboarding.
- We should place more authory in individuals that have been designated Mandated Actors.

### **Handling Dai Recovery**


#### Comms when Affecting Stakeholders

- Governance has a large amount of power when creating new Dai.
- PECU did not disable the ability to send Dai to another Dai contract due to gas fees.
- Best method to return Dai to lost accounts is through a permissionless method creating a dummy Dai token to mint against.
- PECU has some ideas but involves many dependable actions and bandwidth.
- How do we even verify the correct person? We may need a Core Unit for that.
