# Proposal for Exclusive License/Sale of IP-NFT & Winding Up of IPT Program

### **About**

This template outlines a proposal for the exclusive license or sale of an IP-NFT and the winding up of an associated IPT program within a community. It covers the summary, background, deal proposal, and implementation steps for such a transaction.

### **When to use it:**

* **End of IPT Program:** Use this template when the IPT program has fulfilled its purpose and there is an opportunity to monetize the IP-NFT through an exclusive license or sale while winding up the program.
* **Decision Making:** Use it to obtain approval from relevant stakeholders (e.g., DAO utility token holders or IPT holders) to proceed with the licensing/sale and winding up of the program.
