# Governance Module

The **GovernanceModule** enables participating in the governance of component tokens held in the [SetToken](/index-coop-community-handbook/protocol/index-protocol/core-contracts/set-token.md). Examples of intended protocols include Aave, Compound, and Uniswap governance.

## Select Methods

### delegate()

`function delegate(ISetToken _setToken, string memory _governanceName, address _delegatee)`

**Manager only**. Delegate voting power to an Ethereum address. Note: for some governance adapters, delegating to self is equivalent to registering and delegating to zero address is revoking right to vote.

| Parameter Name   | Type      | Description                                                          |
| ---------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \_setToken       | ISetToken | Instance of the SetToken                                             |
| \_governanceName | string    | Human readable name of integration stored in the IntegrationRegistry |

`function propose(ISetToken _setToken, string memory _governanceName, bytes memory _proposalData)`

| \_data           | bytes     | Arbitrary bytes to be used to construct vote call data               |

### register()

`function register(ISetToken _setToken, string memory _governanceName)`

**Manager only**. Register for voting for the SetToken

| Parameter Name   | Type      | Description                                                          |
