The rationale also meets the minimum content specified in this section.\n\nARTICLE II, Section 7 specifies that Treasury Withdrawal governance actions must include the following:\n\n1\\. Purpose, Delivery Period, Costs, and Refund Conditions\n\nThis governance action specifies:\n\n- The purpose of the withdrawal as \"To reimburse the lost deposit for an Info governance action.\"\n- The period for delivery of proposed activities as \"This will be instantly performed as part of the governance action’s enactment on-chain.\"\n- \"There are no costs or expenses associated with this treasury withdrawal.\"\n- \"There are no circumstances for refunding to the treasury.\"\n\nThese elements fulfil the requirements of Article II, Section 7(1).\n\n2\\. Prior Treasury Funding Disclosure\n\nARTICLE II, Section 7(2) requires disclosure of whether the prospective recipient has received ada from the Cardano Treasury within the last 24 months.\n\nThis governance action states that \"The recipient of this reimbursement has not previously received funds from the treasury.\". This fulfils the requirement of ARTICLE II, Section 7(2).\n\n3\\. Net Change Limit (NCL)\n\nARTICLE II, Section 7(3) requires that Treasury Withdrawals must not exceed the Net Change Limit.\n\nThe Net Change Limit in effect at the time of submission of this vote on-chain is the governance action with ID \"gov_action1m3xx08yv788vfxqh6nfvrjtvmqpwezsy0ggaczctkyjmttc2wmxsq4jsr7q\".\n\n- A. Current NCL Amount: 350000000 ada\n- B. Current NCL Time Period: Epoch 613 to Epoch 713 (Inclusive)\n- C. Total of Treasury Withdrawals within the Current NCL Time Period: 291435336 ada\n- D. Amount of this Treasury Withdrawal: 103000 ada\n- E. \"C\" plus \"D\" = 291538336 ada\n- F. \"A\" minus \"E\" = 58461664 ada\n\nAs the value of \"F\" is greater than or equal to zero, this governance action fulfils the NCL requirement.\n\n4\\. Audit Allocation and Oversight Metrics\n\nARTICLE 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.\"\n\nThis governance action has identified the \"cost of periodic independent audits and the implementation of oversight metrics\" as zero, due to the purpose of the TW being completed entirely on-chain with a single transaction. This technically fulfils the requirements of ARTICLE II, Section 7(4).\n\n5\\. Designated Administrators\n\nARTICLE II, Section 7(5) requires that one or more administrators are designated to monitor fund usage and ensure deliverables are achieved.\n\nThis governance action states that \"While funds administration is not required, as the funds are being immediately distributed, in order to comply with this requirement the DReps are nominated as the “Administrator”, as they will be responsible for executing the distribution.\", which fulfils this requirement.\n\n6\\. Fund Management Requirements\n\nARTICLE II, Section 7(6) states \"Any ada received from a Cardano Blockchain treasury withdrawal, so long as such ada is being held by an administrator prior to further disbursement to the Treasury Withdrawal Recipient, must be kept in one or more separate accounts that can be audited by the Cardano Community, and such accounts shall not be delegated to an SPO but must be delegated to the predefined abstain voting option.\"\n\nThis governance action specifies that \"The funds will not be held by an Administrator, so no compliance regarding the wallet’s delegation is required.\", which fulfils this requirement.\n\nFinally, the guardrails that require consideration for this governance action are TREASURY-01a, TREASURY-02a, and TREASURY-03a. These are addressed as follows:\n\n- TREASURY-01a - The net change limit with governance action ID \"gov_action1m3xx08yv788vfxqh6nfvrjtvmqpwezsy0ggaczctkyjmttc2wmxsq4jsr7q\" is currently in effect, after being \"agreed by the DReps via an on-chain governance action with a threshold of greater than 50% of the active voting stake\".\n- TREASURY-02a - As per the above assessment, this treasury withdrawal does not exceed the current Net Change Limit.\n- TREASURY-03a - This treasury withdrawal is denominated in ada.\n\nWe therefore find this governance action **Constitutional**.", "precedentDiscussion": "None", "counterargumentDiscussion": "None", "conclusion": "This governance action sufficiently fulfils the criteria specified for treasury withdrawals in the Cardano Constitution, so is deemed constitutional.", "internalVote": { "constitutional": 4, "unconstitutional": 0, "abstain": 2, "didNotVote": 1 }, "references": [] }, "authors": [ { "name": "Eastern Cardano Council", "witness": { "witnessAlgorithm": "ed25519", "publicKey": "a12e0d6516828fd47afc70e2eccdfa11a4f4c76cb5eca55bdc9349865a70e4fe", "signature": "46d0febffc3bef554e9c627f9b028990cf17709c95cae0fbd1e7d970f7742f41ca255c7afb7565f1b42efa518000ed6b36ddd8dad3f791afb028a814489a7d0f" } } ] }
