## Sentence Summary

MIP38 is the fundamental MIP in the Core Unit MIP Set. The definitions it contains hold the Core Unit MIP Set together.

## Paragraph Summary

MIP38 is the fundamental MIP in the Core Unit MIP Set, both defining the MIP Set and providing a framework. Core Units ---further defined below--- are the basic workforce divisions that Maker Governance can oversee, manage and prioritize.

MIP38 contains a list intended to keep track of Core Units, their Budgets, and Facilitators. Core Units cannot be modified through this MIP but by using the corresponding dedicated MIP Component in the MIP Set.

## Component Summary

**MIP38c1: Core Unit MIP Set Framework**
This component provides the basic definitions for the Core Unit Framework.

**MIP38c2: Core Unit List**
This component defines the Core Unit List, its format, and its upkeep.

**MIP38c3: Endgame Transition**
This component defines the special rules of Endgame Transition as they apply to all Core Unit related MIPs.

## Motivation

This MIP provides a basic structure based on Core Units, further defined below, capable of supporting the increasing complexity of the DAO and its continuous expansion. This MIP also contains a list that keeps track of existing and offboarded Core Units.

Under its stripped-down, homogeneous nature, this structure avoids the hassle of ad-hoc implementations that are hard to analyze and interface.

## Specification / Proposal Details

### MIP38c1: Core Unit MIP Set Framework

#### Core Unit

**Core Units are the basic workforce divisions that Maker Governance can oversee, manage and prioritize**. Core units are managed by one or more Facilitators (further defined in MIP41) who have access to a Budget (further defined in MIP40) that must be put to use to fulfill the Core Unit's Mandate (further defined in MIP39).

Core Units are established across three MIPs that, at inception, must be ratified simultaneously:

- **MIP39: Core Unit Onboarding and Offboarding Framework**
- **MIP40: Core Unit Budget Framework**
- **MIP41: Core Unit Facilitator Framework**

More precisely, each Core Unit is defined via at least three subproposals:

- One MIP39c2 subproposal establishing the **onboarding** of the Core Unit. Core Unit onboarding, modification and offboarding are further defined in MIP39: Onboarding and Offboarding Framework.
- One or more MIP40c3 subproposals that assign a **budget** to the Core Unit. The Core Unit budget is further defined in MIP40: Budget Framework.
- One or more MIP41c4 subproposals that designate a **Facilitator** for the Core Unit. The Facilitator role is further defined in MIP41: Facilitator Framework.

Collectively, these subproposals define and ---upon approval by Maker Governance--- onboard a Core Unit.

### MIP38c2: Core Unit List

This list contains all of the Core Units approved by Governance, alongside the Core Units' key information:

- Core Unit Mandates.
- Budget Implementation and Breakdown.
- Facilitator name, information, and commitment.
- Relevant Dates.

This list is updated by the MIP Editors when a subproposal from MIP39, MIP40, or MIP41 is ratified.

Offboarded Core Units are archived at the end of the list under *Offboarded Core Units*.

### MIP38c3: Endgame transition

In case of conflict, this component supersedes other components in the MIP.

To enable the smooth transition to Endgame, Core Unit related MIPs ([MIP38](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/blob/master/MIP38/mip38.md), [MIP39](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/blob/master/MIP39/mip39.md), [MIP40](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/blob/master/MIP40/mip40.md), [MIP41](https://github.com/makerdao/mips/blob/master/MIP41/mip41.md)) continue to function temporarily during the Pregame after the Maker Constitution has passed. They are used only to provide budget continuity for existing, approved budgets, and to provide a temporary solution for designating Responsible Facilitators in the Scopes.

New Core Units can no longer be proposed or be approved, new budgets cannot be proposed or approved, and recurring budgets do not automatically renew. The only exception to the rule against recurring budget is the Strategic Finance Budget, which can recur a single time.

All Core Unit roles defined in the Core Unit related MIPs no longer apply, and are superseded by the rules and responsibilities defined in the Maker Constitution or Scope Frameworks. If no direction is given to a Core Unit in the Maker Constitution or the Scope Frameworks, they can fall back on their existing Core Unit mandate, but must also make efforts to support and enable the transition to Endgame, and provide input for how their work can be incorporated in the Scopes.

Over time, all budgets provided from the Core Unit related MIPs will run out, and the Core Units will be transitioned to new budgets and have their work regulated through the Maker Constitution and Scopes. Once the transition is complete and all budgets have run out or been offboarded, and no more payments occur to any Core Unit defined in the Core Unit MIPs, all of the Core Unit MIPs become obsolete and stop having any effect.
