# Configure Proposal and Voting

**Voting Cycle Duration** - This is the time that your voting period is open for members to vote. In the BaseDAO contract, the time is expressed in blocks.\
\
**Proposal Execution Delay** - This is the time in levels/blocks that needs to pass for a proposal to become "executable".\
\
**Proposal Expiration Threshold** - The time in levels/blocks required before a proposal becomes expired. \
\
**Returned Stake After Proposal Rejection** - If a proposal fails, the proposer receives a percentage back.\
\
**Min & Max Transfer Amounts** - This helps you set a threshold for the amount that is acceptable to warrant the attention load of members voting, and also protect the DAO from a high percentage of the treasury being transferred with one proposal.\
\
**Quorum Threshold** - A quorum in democratic process refers to the amount of participants that need to participate in order for a vote to be a valid representative of a collective decision. Here it is measured in terms of % of total governance tokens in the DAO. For example, if there are 100,000 tokens in your DAO, and the quorum is 10%, at least 10,000 tokens or voting power need to be voted with. If not, the proposal will fail and not be able to be executed.\
\
Set your quorum to be low if it’s important that low participation doesn’t interfere with community governance. If your community is making highly consequential proposals, you might consider having a higher quorum.\
\
The next two numbers are the minimum and maximum amount the quorum threshold can get adjusted to after a period change.\
\
**Quorum Change** - A value that gets computed internally in the formula that calculates quorum adjustment.\
\
**Quorum Max Change** - The maximum amount your quorum can change in between periods.
