# Amendment to Snapshot Proposal ID #4e13c: DAO Voting Duration Update
**Summary**
This proposal amends proposal ID #4e13c (How long should each voting period last?) by changing the voting duration from 14 to 7 days for Lightchain AI DAO governance.
This amendment does not require immediate contract changes. Implementation will occur when development bandwidth allows following mainnet priorities, with the current 14-day voting period remaining in place until the update is completed.
**Motivation**
As Lightchain AI continues to mature, governance participation and alignment have improved. Shortening the voting period allows proposals to be resolved more efficiently while maintaining sufficient time for community review and discussion.
A 14-day voting window has proven effective during early-stage governance, but it can slow down momentum as the number of active initiatives increases. Reducing the duration to 7 days strikes a balance between thoughtful participation and timely execution.
**Proposal**
Update the DAO voting period from 14 days to 7 days.
The 7-day voting period will take effect once the necessary contract updates are implemented.
Until implementation occurs, proposals will continue to follow the current 14-day voting period.
**Rationale**
A 7-day voting period aligns with common DAO governance standards and supports more efficient decision-making without sacrificing meaningful participation.
This change allows the DAO to:
· Close out proposals more quickly
· Maintain focus across multiple initiatives
· Reduce delays in execution following community decisions
At the same time, it preserves flexibility by allowing future governance proposals to adjust the duration again if needed.
**Execution**
· No immediate contract changes are required
· Core developers will update the governance contract when bandwidth allows
· Current 14-day voting periods remain in effect until the update is implemented
· Once implemented, proposals created thereafter will use a 7-day voting period
**Constraints**
· This proposal does not require or enforce a specific implementation timeline
· The existing voting period remains active until the update is completed
· No other governance parameters are modified by this amendment
**Voting Options**
· FOR: Update the DAO voting period to 7 days
· AGAINST: Maintain the current 14-day voting period
· ABSTAIN: No opinion
