The dates for Season 1 have been decided on in the governance framework, see Section D.II and E.II.
- Each season consists of 4 sprints
- Sprints have a duration of 4 weeks (Season = 16 weeks)
- All relevant deadlines always end on Mondays to ensure predictability,
- Submission to Phase 0 and Phase 1 (relevant for proposal authors),
- Signaling on maturity (relevant for guardians and delegates) and
- End of voting period (relevant for token holders and delegates)
While a season doesn’t precisely align with the standard yearly quarters - especially since we commence mid-year - it strikes a balance between predictable, fixed weekday deadlines and sprints that come close to a month’s duration.
The exact dates for Season 1 - Sprint 1 can be found in the Governance Hub under 
Governance calendar.
