# Ordao configuration update

Current configuration (as they are onchain) can be inspected here: https://eden.frapps.xyz/about/appState .

## Change 1: Set votePeriod and vetoPeriod to standard values

* **[Meaning of the setting](https://github.com/sim31/ordao/blob/main/docs/OREC.md#variables):**
* Vote period (voting_period): amount of time given to vote YES or NO on a proposal;
* Veto period (veto_period): amount of time given to a stage after voting stage where only NO votes are accepted;
* **Current value:** 9 days each
* **Proposed value:** 3 days each
* **Rationale for previous value:** we wanted to allow enough time for contributors from previous version of Eden Fractal to claim their old Respect before decisions are executed in ORDAO of the new version ([app to claim old Respect](https://of-base.frapps.xyz/about/intent)). This was intended as temporary measure.
* **Rationale for new value:**
* More than 6 months have passed since the claiming process became available. People had enough time to claim their old Respect.
* It is useful for ORDAO to be able to execute decisions by the time of the next meeting.
* 3 days for votePeriod and vetoPeriod is a standard value that has been tested with other communities;

## Change 2: Set maxLiveYesVotes to a bigger value

* **[Meaning of the setting](https://github.com/sim31/ordao/blob/main/docs/OREC.md#variables):** limit for how many live proposals a single account can vote YES on
* **Current value:** 4
* **Proposed value:** 8
* **Rationale for previous value:** this setting is a way to prevent proposal spam in case some respect-holder becomes malicious like this. Smaller value offers more protection, but also can be too constraining if community wants to pass more proposals;
* **Rationale for new value:**
* Eden Fractal also needs to elect delegates, which adds 1 more proposal per breakout-group every week;
* We already had at least one situation where respect-holder was not able to support a meaningful proposal because of this limitation;
* 6 is a standard value that has been tested with other communities. Add 2 more account for delegate election proposals.
