This proposalβs expectation is to produce a community signal. Full details and discussions thus far can be found at:

Synopsis:
During the first 6 months of Sushi's liquidity mining a vest was put in place for 2/3rds of accrued Sushi rewards to be locked up and released after 6 months. With the full release of all vested SUSHI being October 12th, 2021 and thus being well over a year now since the SUSHI was unlocked this proposal will be used to signal the community's decision on clawing back the SUSHI still remaining in the contracts or to not.
Two merkle trees are in place with a collective amount of 8,246,689 SUSHI remaining in the contracts:

Clawback will go directly to the Treasury, and there will be a plan put forth to set a precedence for the time table and process for clawing back SUSHI in a Implementation proposal if the Signal proposal passes.
Thus further details of the clawback procedure will be worked out depending on the outcome of this proposal, and this is just a Signal to determine if we should go forward with planning this out for Q1 of next year 2023 or not.
TLDR:
To clawback vested SUSHI to the treasury or not
