# xGov Beta Architecture

The Proposer **MAY** update the Proposal Metadata during the discussion phase.

The Proposer **SHALL NOT** change the Proposal **REQUIRED** data (e.g., the requested amount) during the discussion phase.

To change the Proposal **REQUIRED** data, the Proposer **MUST** drop the Proposal Draft and open a new one.

The Proposer **SHALL** submit the Draft Proposal after the minimum discussion period (depending on the [Proposal _funding size_](https://docs.xgov.algorand.co/specs/proposal#funding-sizes)).

The xGov Daemon **MAY** finalize the Draft Proposal if it becomes stale (the Proposer does not submit the Draft).

The Proposal Metadata **SHOULD** be submitted from the xGov Portal (front-end).

The Proposal **MUST NOT** be submitted without Metadata.

Upon proposal submission, a percentage of the Open Proposal Fee **SHALL** be transferred from the Proposal Escrow to the xGov Daemon to cover the operation fees.

> Note  
> The xGov Manager **MAY** update the percentage of the Open Proposal Fee transferred to the xGov Daemon.

The xGov Daemon **SHALL** distribute the votes to the xGov Committee (CommComm) assigned to the Proposal.

The distributed votes **MUST** be equal to the xGov Committee Voting Power (Votes(Comm)Votes(Comm)) (see [xGov Committee section](https://docs.xgov.algorand.co/specs/xgov-committee#xgov-committee-voting-power)).

The number of voters who received votes **MUST** be equal to the xGov Committee Members (Members(Comm)Members(Comm)) (see [xGov Committee section](https://docs.xgov.algorand.co/specs/xgov-committee#xgov-committee-members)).

The Proposal status **MUST** be set to Voting once the xGov Committee is completely assigned.

The xGov Committee Voters are represented by a set of Boxes on the Proposal Application (one box per xGov Committee Member), called the _Voter Box_.

The xGov Daemon **SHALL** create _all_ the Voter Boxes once the Proposal is Submitted.

Voter Box MBR **MUST** be covered by the Partial Open Proposal Fee.

Voter Box ID is equal to `[V||<xgov address>]`, where `V` is a domain separation prefix, `<xgov address>` is the same as used by the xGov upon subscription, and `||` denotes concatenation.

A Voter Box has the following ABI schema:

```json
{
    "votes": "unit32"
}
```

The Submitted Proposal **MUST** be promoted to Voting once the xGov Committee has been completely assigned.

The duration of the voting session depends on the Proposal _funding sizes_.

The Voting Proposal **MUST** stay open until either:

- All the xGov Committee members have voted, or
- The voting duration expires.
