Outcomes

If the votes for the 'Yes' option exceed the votes for the 'No' option AND the Atlas v2 Upgrade proposal passes then the following actions will be taken:

• These changes will be included in an upcoming 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 the Maker 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.
