Thanks for your feedback, I’ve put together your comments and summarized the changes in this reply.

**RFCs:**  
Add a 3-day RFC period before a proposal can be submitted on-chain. RFCs should be clearly marked as such to distinguish early-stage discussions from formal governance proposals. After the RFC phase, proposals should be updated with community feedback before being submitted as formal governance proposals.

**Quorum:**  
After carefully reading your feedback and analyzing it, I believe that the minimum quorum should be **35% of the Delegated Supply.** This results in a quorum of 60.03M. The rationale behind this, is that given how the delegated votes are concentrated, this ensures _at least_ 2 delegates to vote in favor.

**SIP Categories:**  
I also agree here that we should aim for simplicity, so from your feedback I made this new list of proposed categories to start. These categories can be adjusted later.

- **SIP0 - Governance Process**
- **SIP1 - Vault Management (Onboarding & Offboarding)**
- **SIP2 - ARK Management (Onboarding & Offboarding)**
- **SIP3 - Token Rewards**
- **SIP4 - Governance Parameters**
- **SIP5 - Special Governance Votes (One-Off Proposals)**

What changed?

- Unified onboarding and offboarding into a single category for each.
- Changed $SUMR rewards for **Token Rewards** to make it more flexible and simple to understand for new users.
- Unified most of the categories related to changes in parameters in a single category. If later we find this category to be confusing, or needs more granularity, we can add new categories.
- Added **Special Governance Votes** , for one-off proposals such as [[SIP5.1] Correct TipJar Tipstreams](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip5-1-correct-tipjar-tipstreams/136) who might not fit into any other category.

Happy to hear your feedback.
