Back to collectionA Voting Window Corrected Before the Ballot Opens
XIP-1 had just reached the governance portal, and prospective voters were checking the page line by line. XAI was quoted at $0.086. The report led to a correction, before voting opened, of a setting that would have changed the closing date.

XIP-1 had just reached the governance portal, and prospective voters were checking the page line by line. After the Safe delay, any configuration error could look like another broken commitment. Operators needed to get reported problems to the team quickly.
XAI was quoted at $0.086. Someone noticed that the page set a 14-day voting window instead of the planned seven days and reported it that day. The team acknowledged the error and rebuilt the proposal with a 48-hour waiting period followed by seven days of voting; the opening time was largely unchanged. Officials also posted a voting guide: anyone wishing to cast their own vote had to delegate their voting power to themselves first.
The report led to a correction, before voting opened, of a setting that would have changed the closing date. The page now better matched the process people had been told to expect. The Night Watchman began reminding hesitant holders to complete self-delegation and check the revised proposal's times. Whether their voting power would display properly remained to be seen once the page was in use.
