💡 This proposal is an improvement to the Cross-Chain Deployment Proposal Template that adds accountability mechanisms to ensure terms of the agreements with Uniswap deployers and partners are upheld. It addresses accountability by requiring:
Future deployments and partnership offers to Uniswap DAO may this template to improve the credibility of proposals to delegates.
This template is one output of a working group convened by Other Internet in November and December to address accountability issues in Uniswap partnerships. The template is intended to be complemented by a full Accountability Committee that we will be proposing in the coming weeks.

This is excellent to see.
A question, where is this proposal to actually live- In the forum in this format?
How should this proposal template translate to the voting platforms? IE: What should be used when creating a Snapshot versus what should be used when creating the On-Chain vote on Tally?
This is excellent to see.

It would be interesting to standardize this proposal template in general across proposals to make them easier to read, and act upon.

This isn't really a proposal, it doesn't need approval by the community to be used. It's a heuristic that (I hope it is self-evident) is an improvement over the existing heuristics. Unfortunately the forum is basically the best thing we have for documentation.
To your last point - most proposals are already converging to subsets of things identified in this template, so I'm expecting people to use some variation of this as time goes on.
