<blockquote><strong>TL;DR: </strong>A new governance proposal is becoming available for voters in the IOTA and Shimmer networks. This proposal asks to modify the existing operating framework for the Shimmer Community Grant committee (SGP - 0006 for a vote by Shimmer Token Holders) while also integrating the IOTA Community Treasury Tokens into this Grant system with an initial Budget of 10 million IOTA Tokens (IGP - 0001 for a vote by IOTA Token Holders). The pre-vote period starts on Thursday at 3 pm CET, and the counting period begins seven days later.</blockquote><p>After several weeks of preparation by the IOTA &amp; Shimmer Community Governance Group and successfully passing the first two initial <a href="https://wiki.iota.org/learn/governance/shimmer-governance-intro/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">governance phases</a> in our <a href="https://govern.iota.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Governance Forum</a>, a governance proposal is being presented to both IOTA and Shimmer voters.</p><p>Starting on Thursday, 12 October, at 3 pm CET, voters can vote on these matters in both networks via your IOTA and Shimmer Firefly Wallets with their token holdings. Please be aware that the proposal only passes if the votes in both networks result in the acceptance of the proposal by a simple majority of voters, passing a quorum of 5% of the circulating Token supply.</p><p>We kindly ask all token holders to participate in this vote in both networks.</p><h2 id="header-0">Shimmer Community Treasury Grant Committee Revision</h2><p><a href="https://govern.iota.org/t/sgp-0006-igp-0001-tangle-community-treasury-grant-committee-framework-revision/1675/1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Proposal SGP - 0006 / IGP - 0001</a> was crafted by the members of the Shimmer Community Treasury Committee.
