## Logistics The link to join today’s governance call to discuss the proposal pipeline and notable discussions is also on the governance calendar. Date: January 20 Time: 16:00 - 17:00 UTC Video call link: [meet.google.com/dfo-xora-ysp](https://meet.google.com/dfo-xora-ysp?hs=122&authuser=0) ## Approach The agenda below will be fluid. For authors and/or key contributors of these proposals, it would be helpful if you could include a TL;DR of your proposal/discussion in the comments so delegates can review them and prepare their questions for the call. ## Agenda ## 1. On-Chain AIPs (Tally) N/A ## 2. Successful Off-Chain AIPS N/A ## 3. Off-Chain AIPs (Snapshot) N/A ## 4. Notable Proposal Discussions (Or upcoming snapshots) - [Create another fast-lane, similar to TimeBoost, specifically optimized for stablecoin payments](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/create-another-fast-lane-similar-to-timeboost-specifically-optimized-for-stablecoin-payments/30336) - [Discussion on Contributor Incentives](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/discussion-on-contributor-incentives/30351) ## 5. Quick updates Please comment below if there are any updates that you wish to share during the call. ## Additional Notes - We prioritise all proposals and notable discussions that have more engagement. - The logic of the two weeks is that given the proposal lifecycle (one week on the forum, one week on Snapshot, and then two weeks on Tally). This means that even if a proposal takes the shortest possible route, it will be covered at least at the proposal and Tally stage, or the Snapshot and Tally stage. - For anything that needs a recap, they could be parked after these discussions. ---

BLAZE was on the agenda of the [last open discussion of proposals](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/december-9-2025-open-discussion-of-proposals-governance-call/30320) call before the holidays. I typically add agenda items based on whether they have moved through the governance process since the last time we discussed them, or if there have been significant changes in the proposal itself. Max has shared some updates in the proposal, but there haven’t been any significant changes. I did reach out to @maxlomu however, and he’ll be available to answer any questions regarding BLAZE during the call if anyone has any. ---
