* While its `yes` votes far outweigh its `no` votes, the Core Unit proposal for GovComms still needs a little push to reach the minimum positive participation of 10,000 MKR.
* For the other Core Unit Proposals (Strategic Marcomms, AmaZix, Collateral Onboarding), the `no` votes are prevailing.
* @Davidutro will be presenting the Weekly MIPs Update as part of the Governance and Risk call on Thursday 22.
## Next Week’s Activity | July 26 - July 30
* Ratification Polls close on Monday 26, 04:00 PM UTC!
