The DIMO's governance follows some standard implementations from OpenZeppelin: [`GovernorUpgradeable`](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts-upgradeable/tree/master/contracts/governance) contract, the upgradeability mechanism [`UUPSUpgradeable`](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/v4.8.0/contracts/proxy/utils/UUPSUpgradeable.sol), and [`OwnableUpgradeable`](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts-upgradeable/blob/master/contracts/access/OwnableUpgradeable.sol). The `DimoGovernor` also employs the following extensions:

* `GovernorSettingsUpgradeable`
  * Allows changing `_votingDelay`, `_votingPeriod` and `_proposalThreshold` through a proposal
* `GovernorCountingSimpleUpgradeable`
  * Simplifies voting system to accept only `Agains`, `For` and `Abstain` votes
* `GovernorVotesUpgradeable`
  * Gets the voting weight from the [`DIMO token`](https://docs.dimo.org/protocol/token-and-governance/token)
* `GovernorVotesQuorumFractionUpgradeable`
  * Allows the quorum to be expressed as a fraction of the total supply. It is also possible change the quorum through a proposal
* `GovernorTimelockControlUpgradeable`
  * Adds a delay in the execution of governance decisions. With that, proposals are carried out by the external `Timelock` contract.

The `DimoGovernor` contract works in conjunction with the `TimeLock` contract that introduces a delay between the proposal and its execution. If a proposal is successful, the users have the `minDelay` period to perform any relevant operation before the execution. Please note that the `minDelay` period can still be changed by an admin.
