MakerDAO Governance Meeting Minutes 2016 Aug 28th

Formal Governance

20 in attendance

Formal governance meeting 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] (https://forum.makerdao.com/) and can also be discussed in #proposal-discuss on [Rocket Chat] (http://chat.makerdao.com/)
