+## Abstract
+
+The Conway ledger era ushers in on-chain governance for Cardano via [CIP-1694 | A First Step Towards On-Chain Decentralized Governance](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/blob/master/CIP-1694/README.md), with the addition of many new on-chain governance artifacts.
+Some of these artifacts support the linking of off-chain metadata, as a way to provide context to on-chain actions.
+
+The [CIP-100 | Governance Metadata](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0100) standard provides a base framework for how all off-chain governance metadata can be formed and handled.
+This standard was intentionally limited in scope, so that it can be expanded upon by more specific subsequent CIPs.
+
+This proposal aims to provide a specification for the off-chain metadata vocabulary that can be used to give context to Constitutional Committee (CC) votes.
+
+## Motivation: why is this CIP necessary?
+
+The high-level motivation for this proposal is to provide a standard which improves legitimacy of Cardano's governance system.
+
+### Clarity for governance action authors
+
+Governance action authors are likely to have dedicated a significant amount of time to making their action meaningful and effective (as well as locking a significant deposit).
+If this action is not able to be ratified by the CC, it is fair for the author to expect a reasonable explanation from the CC.
+
+Without reasonable context being provided by the CC votes, authors may struggle to iterate upon their actions, until they are deemed constitutional.
+This situation could decrease perceived legitimacy in Cardano's governance.
+
+### Context for other voting bodies
+
+By producing a standard we hope to encourage all CC members to attach rich contextual metadata to their votes.
+This context should show CC member's decision making is fair and reasonable.
+
+This context allows the other voting bodies to adequately check the power of the CC.
+
+### CC votes are different to other types of vote
+
+The CC and their votes are fundamentally very different from the other voting bodies.
+This makes reusing standards from these voting bodies problematic.
+
+### Inclusion within interim constitution
+
+Cardano's [Interim Constitution Article VI Section 4](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/interim-constitution/blob/75155526ce850118898bd5eacf460f5d68ceb083/cardano-constitution-0.txt#L330) states:
+
+```txt
+Constitutional Committee processes shall be transparent.
+The Constitutional Committee shall publish each decision.
+When voting no on a proposal, the Committee shall set forth the basis
+for its decision with reference to specific Articles of this Constitution
+that are in conflict with a given proposal.
+```
+
+This mandates that the CC must provide rationale for at least `no` votes.
+Specifying a structure and common vocabulary for this improves the efforts to be transparent.
+
+### Tooling
+
+By creating and implementing these metadata standards we facilitate the creation of tooling that can read and write this data.
+Such tooling greatly expands the reach and effectiveness of rationales as it allows for rich user interfaces to be created.
+i.e. translation tools, rationale comparison tools, 
+
+## Specification
+
+We define a specification for fields which can be added to CC votes.
+
+### Extended Body Vocabulary
+
+The following properties extend the potential vocabulary of [CIP-100](https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0100)'s `body` property.
+
+#### `summary`
+
+- A short text field. Limited to `200` characters.
+- Authors SHOULD use this field to clearly state their stance on the issue.
+- Authors SHOULD use this field to succinctly describe their rationale.
+- Authors SHOULD give a brief overview of the main arguments will support your position.
+- This SHOULD NOT support markdown text styling.
+- Compulsory.
+
+#### `rationaleStatement`
+
+- A long text field.
+- Authors SHOULD use this field to fully describe their rationale.
+- Authors SHOULD discuss their arguments in full detail.
+- This field SHOULD support markdown text styling.
+- Compulsory.
+
+#### `precedentDiscussion`
+
+- A long text field.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to discuss what they feel is relevant precedent.
+- This field SHOULD support markdown text styling.
+- Optional.
+
+#### `counterargumentDiscussion`
+
+- A long text field.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to discuss significant counter arguments to the position taken.
+- This field SHOULD support markdown text styling.
+- Optional.
+
+#### `conclusion`
+
+- A long text field.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to conclude their rationale.
+- This SHOULD NOT support markdown text styling.
+- Optional.
+
+#### `internalVote`
+
+- A custom object field.
+- This field SHOULD be used to reflect any internal voting decisions within CC member.
+- This field SHOULD be used by members who are constructed from organizations or consortiums.
+- Optional.
+
+##### `constitutional`
+
+- A positive integer.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to represent a number of internal votes for the constitutionality of the action.
+
+##### `unconstitutional`
+
+- A positive integer.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to represent a number of internal votes against the constitutionality of the action.
+
+##### `abstain`
+
+- A positive integer.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to represent a number of internal abstain votes for the action.
+
+##### `didNotVote`
+
+- A positive integer.
+- The author SHOULD use this field to represent a number of unused internal votes.
+
+### Extended `references` Vocabulary
+
+Here we extend CIP-100's `references` field.
+
+#### `RelevantArticles`
+
+- We add to CIP-100's `@type`s, with a type of `RelevantArticles`.
+- Authors SHOULD use this field to list the relevant constitution articles to their argument.
+
+### Application
+
+CC must include all compulsory fields to be considered CIP-XXX compliant.
+As this is an extension to CIP-100, all CIP-100 fields can be included within CIP-XXX compliant metadata.
+
+### Test Vector
+
+// todo
+
+See [test-vector.md](./test-vector.md) for examples.
+
+### Versioning
+
+This proposal should not be versioned, to update this standard a new CIP should be proposed.
+Although through the JSON-LD mechanism further CIPs can add to the common governance metadata vocabulary.
+
+## Rationale: how does this CIP achieve its goals?
+
+// todo - fill in details
+
+### `summary`
+
+- useful for users to quickly see a preview of the whole rationale
+- gives tooling the option to show a high level intro
+
+### `rationaleStatement`
+
+### `precedentDiscussion`
+
+### `counterargumentDiscussion`
+
+### `conclusion`
+
+### `internalVote`
+
+### `relevantArticles`
+
+## Path to Active
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] This standard is supported by two different tooling providers used to submit governance actions to chain.
+- [ ] This standard is supported by two different chain indexing tools, used to read and render metadata.
+
+### Implementation Plan
+
+#### Solicitation of feedback
+
+- [ ] Run two online workshops to gather insights from stakeholders.
+- [ ] Seek community answers on all [Open Questions](#open-questions).
+
+#### Implementation
+
+- [ ] Author to provide example metadata and schema files.

+# Test Vector for CIP-136
+
+Here we create some useful definitions and some examples.
+
+## Common Context
+
+### Common Fields
+
+The context fields which could be added to CIP-136 compliant jsonld files.
+See [cip-0136.common.jsonld](./cip-0136.common.jsonld).
+
+### Common Fields Schema
+
+A json schema for the common context fields.
+See [cip-0136.common.schema.json](./cip-0136.common.schema.json).
+
+## Examples
+
+### Treasury Withdrawal is Unconstitutional
+
+Example metadata document file: [treasury-withdrawal-unconstitutional.jsonld](./examples/treasury-withdrawal-unconstitutional.jsonld).
