Hi Uniswap fam,
Given that UNI governance is still relatively new, I think that it would be productive to think about proposal procedures and standards before we make changes to the protocol.
Uniswap borrows governance functionality from COMP and the Compound community, and I think this reference on good governance from Robert Leshner is a great jumping off point:
https://www.comp.xyz/t/good-governance/27
Proposals should be submitted in the forums and discussed by the community before going on chain.
Technical changes should be publicly vetted.
Proposals should address 1 change at a time.
Please share any other ideas you have about good governance, proposal etiquette, moderation, etc!

Title: Eliminating Gas Fees for Governance Voting & Rewarding Active Participants
Introduction:
Governance is the backbone of Uniswap’s decentralized ecosystem, allowing UNI holders to shape the protocol’s future. However, the current system requires voters to pay gas fees, which creates a barrier to participation. To ensure Uniswap’s governance remains truly decentralized and inclusive, we must explore ways to eliminate these costs while also incentivizing active engagement through rewards and unique opportunities.

To ensure Uniswap’s governance remains truly decentralized and inclusive, we must explore ways to eliminate these costs while also incentivizing active engagement through rewards and unique opportunities.
Key Issues:
Gas Fees Discourage Participation
Lack of Incentives for Governance Participation
Proposed Solutions:
Implement Gas-Free Voting Mechanisms
Introduce a Voter Incentive Program
Delegate Gas Cost Coverage for Governance
Conclusion:
Governance should be accessible, fair, and rewarding for all UNI holders, not just those who can afford gas fees. By implementing gas-free voting, rewards for active participants, and treasury-backed subsidies, Uniswap can set a new standard for decentralized governance.
By flipping the ecosystem, we can create an environment where governance is not just a duty but a rewarding experience—one that fuels engagement and strengthens Uniswap’s leadership in DeFi.
I encourage the community to discuss and refine these ideas so we can make Uniswap governance truly inclusive and decentralized.
📢 Discussion & Next Steps
Let’s build a better, more inclusive governance model—together. 🚀

Great reference would be great to see Uni go down a similar process for their own governance starting with discussion in a single forum post moving up towards testing and audit and finally proposal.
Hopefully this example will show people making a proposal shouldn't be a 2 second thing where you click a few buttons and that's it. Proposals take time and require hard thinking, open discussion and dissection and auditing both by knowledgeable community members and then a trusted 3rd party before finally reaching the proposal stage at which point the community vote if this is the change they really want (hopefully by the time the final stage is reached the community would have known its what they want)

nothing. @monet-supply is just trying to show an example of how governance works in other protocols.
