# Weekly MIPs Update #51

## August-September Gap Week

![](https://i.imgur.com/rcOxKaa.png)

We're currently going through a gap week, which means there are no events planned for this week.

However, since idle hands are the devil's tools, let's do a quick review of where we're standing right now regarding proposals.

<sub>That's right. We don't mind the gap here. For if you gaze into the gap, the gap also gazes into you. And you don't want that.</sub>

Remember that we will have a **mid-week MIPs Update on the Governance and Risk call on Thursday**.

## :loudspeaker: Attention, authors whose proposals are eligible for Formal Submission into September's Governance Cyle this header is way too long sorry

- The latest date for changes is September 1<sup>st</sup> (EOD UTC)! What's thawed past this point won't be able to enter September's Governance Cycle, so try to keep it frozen :skull_and_crossbones: 
- Formal Submission Window opens on September 6<sup>th</sup> and runs through Wednesday 8<sup>th</sup>.

---

## Next Week's is September's Governance Cycle Week 1 | September 6 - September 10

The Formal Submission Window for September opens on Monday 6<sup>th</sup>. I'll be reaching out to authors of eligible proposals and inquiring whether it is their desire formally to submit or whether they would rather stay in the warm, nurting RFC stage :pregnant_woman:

## oh btw

- If you haven't checked the [MIPs Portal](https://mips.makerdao.com/) lately, please do and leave some feedback. What would you like to see there? What would you change?
- If you're confused about the dates for the Feedback Period, the Frozen Period, and/or the Formal Submission, please [check this soon-to-be-upgraded forum post](https://forum.makerdao.com/t/mip-rfc-and-formal-submission-dates/7816). If that doesn't help, send me a message or post a reply here.
