Motivations
EN Blockchain tech will only bring real and transformative benefits to humanity if it is truly decentralized. Cardano’s ethos supports decentralization, but it must be real, not just an empty promise. Agora's mission is to ensure that governance truly represents people and their values, and to seek a strategically structured governance system, capable of protecting Cardano from attacks and capture by malicious actors, with smart incentive mechanisms guided by game theory. PT/BR A tecnologia blockchain só trará benefícios reais e transformadores à humanidade se for verdadeiramente descentralizada. O ethos da Cardano defende a descentralização, mas ela precisa ser real, não apenas uma promessa vazia. A missão do Agora é garantir que a governança represente de fato as pessoas e seus valores e um sistema de governança bem estruturado, capaz de proteger a Cardano de ataques e captura por grupos mal-intencionados, com mecanismos de incentivos inteligentes orientados por teoria dos jogos.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams
This proposal establishes a Governance Workstream Consortium which establishes decentralized execution framework, ROM Multisig Model, to support the delivery of constitutional dept workstreams in Cardano. Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
Parameter change proposal - Lower minPoolCost to 0
(at the time of writing the gov.tools site did not have a Parameter Change dropdown value on Propose a Governance Action page implemented yet, although I hear it is in the works) This proposal is to change the parameter "minimum fixed rewards cut for pools (minPoolCost)" value from it's current value of 170 Ada to 0 Ada. This is to allow stake pool operators to set their fee structure as they see fit - without always forcibly taking a chunk out of pool rewards, the protocol-level action which results in continually growing gap (as the per-block reward continues to reduce over time, by staking design) in maximum ROI that a given small pool can offer compared to a big pool with similar fee structure in place.
