MVPWGP stands for MVP Workshop Governance Proposal. An MVPWGP is a document that details a change to the management, allocation, or use of shared resources owned or directly influenced by the MVP Workshop. All MVPWGPs must be consistent with the goals and values put forth in [MVPWGP-0](MVPGP-0.md), i.e. (the MVP Workshop Manifesto) and compliant with the requirements outlined in this document, MVPWGP-1. The MVPWGP author is responsible for building consensus within the community for their MVPWGP and documenting dissenting opinions.

## MVPWGP process rationale
The purpose of the MVPWGP Process ("the AGP process") is to provide a structured process for making changes to the shared resources of the MVPW. For these shared resources, governance processes are needed to grant or deny access and approve or reject proposed changes. By creating a fair, lightweight, and transparent MVPWGP process, the MVPWGP-1 authors hope to give MVP Workshop people a meaningful say in the governance of the MVP Workshop Association and the MVPW and increase the chances of success for both.

There are four tracks that an MVPWGP can be categorized into. Select the one you think is best for your MVPWGP:

* Association: proposals for making changes to the Association
* Finance: proposals for transferring funds from the Association multisig
* Meta: proposals for changing AGP-0 or AGP-1 (“changing the way things are changed”)
* Proclamations: proposals for making a public statement on behalf of the Aragon Network
* Company: proposals for making changes to the Company
* Finance: proposals for transferring funds from the Company multisig
* Meta: proposals for changing MVPWGP-0 or MVPWGP-1 (“changing the way things are changed”)
* Proclamations: proposals for making a public statement on behalf of the MVP Workshop

Proposals that cannot be categorized into one of these tracks will likely be denied by AGP Editors. At the discretion of AGP Editors, a proposal may be categorized as “Other” until a new track is approved as part of a Meta AGP.

In addition to the requirement that all MVPWGPs must be consistent with MVPWGP-0, each track has its own requirements for MVPWGPs as follows:

**Association**
Proposals made to the Association track must affect one or more of the following:
**Company**
Proposals made to the Company track must affect one or more of the following:

* Association-owned assets, excluding funds held in the [Association multisig](https://wiki.aragon.org/documentation/multisigs/association/)
* E.g. “Should the Aragon trademark be dedicated to the public domain?”
* Association policies
* E.g. “Should the Aragon Code of Conduct be updated to include a community-wide ban on Carlos Matos memes?”
* Company-owned assets, excluding funds held in the [MVPW multisig]
* E.g. “Should part of the MVPW assets be dedicated to the public domain?”
* Company policies
* E.g. “Should the MVPW Code of Conduct be updated to include working on other startups?”

**Finance**
Proposals made to the Finance track must affect the movement of assets held by the [Association multisig](https://wiki.aragon.org/documentation/multisigs/association/). The Association will have discretion over which multisig transfers must go through the AGP process.

* E.g. “Should the min. acceptance quorum of Aragon Network votes be increased?”

### Stage IV: Draft Proposal
Once the first draft has been merged into the MVPWGP repo, you may submit follow-up pull requests with further changes to your draft until such point as you believe the MVPWGP to be mature and ready to proceed to Stage V. After a proposal in Stage IV has been thoroughly reviewed, you may request that an MVPWGP Editor moves the proposal from Stage IV to Stage V.

* A request to move the proposal from Stage IV to Stage V will be denied if material changes are still expected to be made to the draft. No changes can be made to an AGP while it is in Stage V or VI.

### Stage V: Final Proposal
An MVPWGP in Stage V is the final version that will appear on the ballot during the next MVP Workshop vote cycle. MVPWGPs that move from Stage IV to Stage V are reviewed by the MVPW Association Board of Directors and, if approved during the pre-vote review session, are added to the list of MVPWGPs that will be submitted to the MVPW for a vote. Approval or rejection of an MVPWGP during Stage V is made at the discretion of the Association board.

### Stage VI: MVPW team Vote
All MVPWGPs that have moved to Stage V since the last MVPW vote cycle and have been approved by the Association board are included on the ballot in the current vote cycle. During the vote cycle, MVPW voters will review proposals on the ballot and cast their votes.

If a vote on an MVPWGP produces a Rejected result, then the MVPWGP must revert to Stage IV or be withdrawn by the author. If a vote on an MVPWGP produces an Approved result, then the MVPWGP will either be executed automatically by the MVPW or else dutifully executed by a manager designated in the MVPWGP (or designated by the Association board if no manager is designated in the MVPWGP).
