  summary: We have determined that this treasury withdrawal governance action is unconstitutional.
  rationale statement: The governance action with ID “gov_action1ngpqafax5rvp8lcgey4asvqtycrh4e56fwp8cn2r9trx2ysryhtsqdm3w3z” and title “Eternl: Path to Sustainability (2026-2027)” is a Treasury Withdrawal, so is subject to ARTICLE II, Section 7 of the Cardano Constitution. While most of the requirements under this section were met by this governance action, it did not fulfil the requirements under ARTICLE II, Section 7(4). ARTICLE II, Section 7(4) states "Treasury Withdrawals actions shall require an allocation of ada as a part of such funding request to cover the cost of periodic independent audits and the implementation of oversight metrics as to the use of such ada." While the cost breakdown does include an item with the title "Audits", it is not clear what kind of audits this refers to. As this proposal is intended to fund ongoing software development of the Eternl wallet, it is likely that technical audits will be required, so the intent behind this item cannot be implied. As this governance action does not provide any explicit information regarding the allocation ada "to cover the cost of periodic independent audits and the implementation of oversight metrics", it DOES NOT fulfil the requirement under ARTICLE II, Section 7(4). We therefore find this governance action **Unconstitutional**.
  precedent discussion: None
  counterargument discussion: None
  conclusion: This governance action does not sufficiently fulfil the criteria specified for treasury withdrawals in the Cardano Constitution, so is deemed unconstitutional.
