As described in \cite{cip1694}, the governance system needs to be
bootstrapped. During the bootstrap period, the following changes will
be made to the ledger described in this document.
\begin{itemize}
\item Transactions containing any proposal except \TriggerHF,
\ChangePParams or \Info will be rejected.
\item Transactions containing a vote other than a \CC vote,
a \SPO vote on a \TriggerHF action or any vote on an \Info
action will be rejected.
\item \Qfour, \Pfive and \Qfivee are set to $0$.
\item An SPO that does not vote is assumed to have voted \abstain.
\end{itemize}
This allows for a governance mechanism similar to the old, Shelley-era
governance during the bootstrap phase, where the constitutional
committee is mostly in charge. These restrictions will be removed
during a subsequent hard fork, once enough DRep stake is present in
the system to properly govern and secure itself.
