• Proposal details: a detailed, expansive explanation of the proposal.
• Proposal forum url: the web location which contains more detail and where people can engage in discussion regarding the proposal.
• Proposal vote option context: The option set of a proposal refers to the set of choices a participant can choose from when casting its vote. The initial option set includes the following options: Yes, No, NoWithVeto, Abstain. TheNoWithVeto counts as No but also adds a Veto vote. Abstain option allows voters to signal that they do not intend to vote in favour or against the proposal but accept the result of the vote.
