[Re-Temperature Check] - Activate Uniswap Protocol Governance

One year ago the DAO voted

On March 1st the DAO voted for [Temperature Check] - Activate Uniswap Protocol Governance

Following the vote’s overwhelming result of 54.6 YES and only 1,100 NO, there has been no communication since May, even though the crypto regulatory environment has improved with a very supportive SEC and the withdrawal of the Wells Notice against Uniswap Labs, as detailed in their blog post A Win for DeFi ‒ SEC Closes Investigation into Uniswap Labs.

Since the elections and the emergence of a more crypto-friendly SEC, numerous leading protocols in the space have actively pursued fee switch implementations. MakerDAO (Sky), Ethena, Hashflow, Aave, Frax, and Jupiter have all initiated or completed governance discussions regarding activating fee switches to capture value for their token holders. These protocols recognize the current favorable regulatory climate as an opportunity to evolve their tokenomics models and strengthen their ecosystems.

The latest status regarding this was from @eek637 on May 24

Last week, we announced that this proposal would be deployed onchain today. Over the last week, a stakeholder raised a new issue relating to this work that requires additional diligence on our end to fully vet. Due to the immutable nature and sensitivity of our proposed upgrade, we have made the difficult decision to postpone posting this vote. This was unexpected, and we apologize for the postponement. We will keep the community apprised of any material changes and will update you all once we feel more certain about future timeframes.

I’m recreating this temperature check to gather support for an on-chain governance proposal using audited contracts deployed by UniswapFDN a year ago. If the DAO continues to be unable to pass a vote due to a single unnamed stake holder blocking community initiatives, then I believe we should seriously consider renaming Uniswap to “a16z-Swap” to more accurately reflect the parasitic governance theatrics going on.

Should sufficient support be gathered from this Re-Temperature check, we can move forward with an on-chain vote using the steps outlined by @eek637 himself.
