MakerDAO Governance Meeting Minutes 2016 December 11th
Formal Governance
Thank you all for joining the formal governance meeting. We have 6 participants on the call today.
This part of the meeting will be recorded and is meant to simulates on-chain proposals. Proposals need to be clearly stated, debated, and generally agreed to prior to the meeting. Once a proposal has gone through these three checks it can be brought up in the formal governance meeting for finalization. Proposals should be posted to forum.makerdao.com and can also be discussed in #proposal-discuss on Rocket Chat
Upon conclusion of the formal portion of the meeting, further topics will be discussed and debated.
