body:
  summary: We have determined that this governance action is constitutional.
  rationale statement: Article III Section 6 Paragraph 3 of the Interim Constitution states "Hard Fork Initiation and Protocol Parameter Change governance actions should undergo sufficient technical review and scrutiny as mandated by the Cardano Blockchain Guardrails to ensure that the governance action does not endanger the security, functionality or performance of the Cardano Blockchain. Governance actions should address their expected impact on the Cardano Blockchain ecosystem." The guardrails that require consideration for this governance action are, PCM-01, PCM-02, PCM-03 and PCM-04. The rationale supplied with this governance action, sufficiently addesses the criteria in these guadrails. Further, the rationale provides information regarding the technical review that was performed in relation to this change. As the cost model parameter change is only enabled with the next hard fork and is something that needs to be optionally used by dapps, we are satisfied with the technical evaluation that was performed. We therefore find this governance action **Consitutional**.
  precedent discussion: None
  counterargument discussion: None
  conclusion: This governance action sufficiently addresses the technical review and guardrails criteria of the Interim Constitution, so is deemed constitutional.
