Phase 3: PIP Vote Stage

After the draft is finalized, the council will recommend approval from the foundation, and the proposal moves to an official governance vote where DAO members can cast their votes

Finalization & Voting

The pip-voting forum serves as the final community discussion space before the vote concludes. The council creates this dedicated forum thread during the active voting period to facilitate last-minute questions, clarifications, and discussions about the proposal.

Vote Execution

Once your draft receives approval to proceed to voting:

• The proposal is locked and uploaded to the governance platform

• A voting period is scheduled (typically 14 days)

• No further edits or modifications are permitted

🚨 Important: Once voting begins, your proposal cannot be changed. Ensure all revisions are complete during the draft phase.

Best Practices for PIP Success

Write for Clarity

• Assume no prior knowledge - Explain all concepts, acronyms, and technical terms.

• Be comprehensive yet concise - Include all necessary information without unnecessary length.

• Use clear structure - Organize with headers, bullet points, and logical flow.

Make a Compelling Case

• Explain the problem clearly - Why does this issue need addressing?

• Highlight the benefits - What value does your proposal bring to Star Atlas and the DAO?

• Address potential concerns - Anticipate questions and provide answers upfront.

Balance Your Proposal

• Align request with value - Ensure what you're asking for matches what you're delivering.

• Consider resource requirements - Be realistic about time, funds, and effort needed.

• Define success metrics - How will the community know if your proposal succeeded?
