# Governance WG · Finalize the Proposal & Voting Framework (RFC → TC → RFP)

| Status | 🟡 Approved |
| --- | --- |
| Working Group | Governance WG |
| Category | ⚖️ Governance |
| Governance Phase | Phase 1 – active at launch |
| Champion | Daffy · Peachy |
| Origin | [RDD structure (58–1)](https://radixtalk.com/t/proposed-initial-governance-structure-for-the-radixdlt-dao-duna-rdd/2127) · [Round 2 framework](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-documents-round-2-proposal-voting-and-transition-framework/2273) |

The three-stage improvement process – **RFC → Temp Check → RFP** – reached rough consensus (58 for, 1 against) in the RDD structure thread. The DAO must lock the mechanics: who can initiate each stage, XRD/LSU thresholds, voting windows, quorums, and approval thresholds.

## Deliverables

- Ratify stage gates: RFC (open) → TC (initiator ≥0.5M LSU-XRD, 100M quorum) → RFP (initiator ≥2M XRD, 500M quorum).
- Settle whether TCs auto-graduate to RFP or require RAC to promote them.
- Fix voting windows (proposed 7-day standard) and the no-confidence override (75% / 1.5B XRD quorum).
- Wire the framework to the on-chain governance app so votes are computed from ledger state.
