tatu · April 12, 2019, 4:06pm

While we do not have a blog post with the final details for the AGP #2 vote just yet, you can check out the previous one for examples of how you will be able to vote on this round as well.

We’ll have a blog post with the information for this round coming up ahead of the vote as well with exact details pertaining to this round.

@alberreman there’s also WIP documentation about voting that will have a permanent home in the wiki:

# How to vote in an Aragon Network Vote

## Background
Once per quarter, the Aragon community gets together to make key decisions affecting the future of the project as part of the Aragon Governance Proposal (AGP) process. Originally defined in [AGP-1: The Aragon Governance Proposal Process](https://github.com/aragon/AGPs/blob/master/AGPs/AGP-1.md), and grounded in the values of [AGP-0: The Aragon Manifesto](https://github.com/aragon/AGPs/blob/master/AGPs/AGP-0.md), the AGP process defines a way for community members to present proposals that introduce some change to an important area of the project, and then vote together to approve or reject the proposals.

You can learn more about the AGP process on the [Governance](documentation/governance.md) page of the wiki.

## Voting methods

During each Aragon Network Vote, Aragon Network Token ([ANT](documentation/aragon_network_token.md)) holders have an opportunity to cast their votes to approve or reject proposals that have made it through the AGP process and onto the final ballot. ANT is a token on the Ethereum network, with access controlled by a private key corresponding to the owner of each token. Votes are cast by using the private key of an account holding ANT to sign a transaction authorizing a vote to be cast with the ANT. No ANT is transferred by this vote transaction, and voting can be done with keys kept completely offline in so-called "cold storage".

!!! info "Note"
    The exact details of which AGP voting app to use and what data to use for raw transactions is published in a "Final details" blog post before each Aragon Network Vote. Visit the [Aragon project blog](https://blog.aragon.org/tag/governance-proposals/) to find the most recent "Final details" blog post with specific information about the vote you want to participate in, then cast your vote for each proposal you want to vote on.

!!! warning "Note"
    If you store your ANT on an exchange, then unless the exchange has explicitly enabled functionality to vote from your exchange account, you must first withdraw your ANT to an Ethereum account that you control the private key to or have the authority to vote from **before the vote starts** so that you can properly sign the vote transaction. After the vote has started, you can transfer the ANT back to the exchange account.

These are the methods currently available to cast a vote:

### Voting with keys stored in a Web3 mobile browser wallet

Specific details about each vote will be published in a blog post as @tatu said but that documentation describes at a high level how voting on AGPs works.

Thanks! I already have an understanding of the AGP process, but I have just never participated in a vote before. I bought my first ANT last night though for the upcoming ballot, so I wanted to make sure to plan ahead

Hey everyone,

Here is a very quick recap of the ongoing proposals for ANV#2. Hope this helps a bit synthesize all the information!

burrrata · April 23, 2019, 4:42pm

Just read this! Thanks for sharing

Unfortunately, this meeting wasn’t well attended, and I wasn’t able to record for some reason:

Thank you to @LouisGrx for joining, and asking some great questions. I’d like to try again on Thursday, how about 2 pm UTC?
If anyone is able to help setup a youtube live call, that would be super appreciated.

Meanwhile, here is a brief FAQ format doc I put together comments are open and welcome: https://hackmd.io/zpvdppBBS4Cp3_0dgKVIjw

I’m all for security. It’s essential. Everything that ships to end users needs to be audited and secure.

That being said, I don’t have the time/skills/background to ask meaningful question about your proposal (AGP-37). I support ongoing security, but the forum thread, hackmd doc, and proposal don’t say much. You’re communicating to a broader community that doesn’t have domain specific knowledge in the field of contract/application security and a little education/marketing would go a long way.

I’d really like to see more info explaining what exactly you guys do, how that relates to other offerings/services on the market, and why it adds direct value to the Aragon platform beyond the cost of the service. Obviously security good / hacks bad, but how will the services provided by ConsenSys Diligence Inc help Aragon stand out as the market leader in decentralized community/org management? Also, if that info has already been shared elsewhere and I’m just late to the party please share it here!

maurelian · April 24, 2019, 12:49pm

Yes… that’s a recurring theme, and seems like a good opportunity to educate the community. I will aim to put something together outlining what we do, and what questions are important for you to ask.

I just published “Aragon Network Vote #2 Review”, welcome thoughts on this but I think most of what could be said has been said
