Extend Merger Timeline by ~4 Days to Allow for Sufficient Discussion and Voting of Amendments

Detailed Forum post and discussion: https://tribe.fei.money/t/urgent-amendment-to-extend-merger-timeline-by-4-days/3782

We are putting forth an urgent amendment that would delay the merger timeline in order to ensure that community members have enough time to analyze & comment on the outstanding amendments to the merger proposal and to leave open a reasonable window for a snapshot vote after the final call. As such, we would like to push the “Amendments Last Call” deadline to Thurs. Dec. 16 and “Close Amendment Voting” to Sunday Dec. 19.

Our goal is to avoid a repeat of the previous merger snapshot vote, which was rushed through without fully following governance protocol. We also believe the outstanding open amendments are critical to the merger, particularly given the potential economic impact to various parties, and hence deserve the proper attention of all community members during this busy holiday season.

Proposal

Extend merger timeline such that:

• “Amendments Last Call” deadline moves to Thurs. Dec. 16 (from Mon Dec 13)
• “Close Amendment Voting” deadline moves to Sunday Dec. 19. (from Wed Dec 15)

Both deadlines should end no later than 11:59 PM ET on their respective dates.

If this amendment passes, a new timeline for the remaining steps (e.g., DAO on-chain voting) will be provided after consultation with the dev team.
