The Governance Facilitators have placed a Governance Poll into the voting system on behalf of Spark Protocol and the Stability Facilitators. This Governance Poll will be active for three days beginning on Tuesday, April 15 at 16:00 UTC.

This is a binary vote.

• You may vote for a single option.
• You should vote for the option which you prefer.
• If you would accept either option, you should vote 'Abstain'.

Review

This poll allows the MakerDAO governance community to signal their support or opposition to updating the "Oracle" parameter for xDAI onto SparkLend on Gnosis.

• Oracle: Set to a fixed rate of 1 USD
• Oracle Provider: N/A

Please review the proposal thread for more information about this change.

A risk evaluation has been provided by BA Labs and can be found here.

Outcomes

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option then the following actions will be taken:

• xDAI oracle parameter will be updated via a future executive vote.
• It is expected that this executive vote will take place within 30 days of this poll passing, absent external factors.
• If the executive vote passes, then these changes will become active in Spark Protocol after the GSM Pause Delay has expired.

If the votes for the 'No' option equal or exceed the votes for the 'Yes' option then no further action will be taken at this time.
