[[BIP-184] Enable OHM/wstETH Gauge on Ethereum](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-184-enable-ohm-wsteth-gauge-on-ethereum/4383)

**Vote** : Yes

**Rationale** : Aura has continued to develop the partnership with OHM and this gauge will support that partnership and the LSD narrative.

[[BIP-185] Enable bb-i-USD Gauge [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-185-enable-bb-i-usd-gauge-ethereum/4390)

**Vote** : Yes

**Rationale** : This core pool is based on a USDC/USDT and DAI. The risk appears to be low in this proposal and thus is a suitable core pool.

[[BIP-186] Enable TUSD-bb-e-USD Gauge [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-186-enable-tusd-bb-e-usd-gauge-ethereum/4391)

**Vote** : Yes

**Rationale** : The Aura Finance community has supported the discussions surrounding this proposal and the delegates are happy to support.

[[BIP-187] Enable TRYB / USDC Gauge with a 2% Emission Cap [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-187-enable-tryb-usdc-gauge-with-a-2-emission-cap-ethereum/4389)

**Vote** : Yes

**Rationale** : With the 2% cap and after some discussions with the community, the delegates are happy to support this gauge. We look forward to welcoming more of the Turkish community.

[[BIP-188] Enable MAI-gDAI-USDC on Arbitrum](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-188-enable-mai-gdai-usdc-on-arbitrum/4348)

**Vote** : NO, this is not the way

**Rationale** : The delegates have taken note of the concerns raised by community members, especially as expressed by [AdamB](https://twitter.com/adamb83024264/status/1608809888544878594) on Twitter regarding the potential for the protocol to misuse user funds. Additional discussions on the balancer thread also provide further background [here](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-188-enable-mai-gdai-usdc-on-arbitrum/4348/6). Finally, the delegates are of the view that qiDAO already has a sufficient number of gauges.

[[BIP-189] Great Migration wave 2](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-189-great-migration-wave-2/4408)

**Vote** : Yes

**Rationale** : Necessary upgrade.

[[BIP-191] Funding Proposal for Messari Reporting 2023](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-191-funding-proposal-for-messari-reporting-2023/4379)

**Vote** : Abstain

**Rationale** : The Aura Delegates are very aware of the excellent product created by Messari and understands the reach and influence that these reports can generate. With that said, the community raised significant concerns about the price of these reports, especially with the currently funding plans and runway targets being discussed in BIP154. To that end, Aura Finance has voted to Abstain

[[BIP-193] Enable bb-yv-USD Gauge [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-193-enable-bb-yv-usd-gauge-ethereum/4415)

**Vote** : abstain

**Rationale** : The Aura delegate council was concerned about the circular nature of the deposit structures as outlined in this proposal along with the additional exposure to other pools within the strategies used by Yearn. For this reason, the delegates chose to abstain.
