# Hello Cosmos Forum Network!
I’m currently conducting a stress testing exercise on the proposed changes in the V2 economy policy and have identified some areas of ambiguity in the V2 whitepaper. I’d appreciate clarification on the following:
Disclaimer: I am aware there are more proposals under review but my objective right now is to conduct two digital twins mirroring both V1 and V2 cosmos economic policy in the most precise way possible.
## Economy Policy Transition:
1. What is the security threshold required to transition from one economic policy to another?
2. Is there a waiting period between these transitions?
## Issuance Distribution:
1. How is the new issuance (10,000,000 in the transition phase + 300,000 in the steady phase) distributed among validators, delegators, the treasury, and the community pool?
## Treasury vs. Community Pool:
1. Is there a distinction between the treasury and community pool in both Cosmos V1 and V2?
Thank you for your assistance!

> 1. Is there a distinction between the treasury and community pool in both Cosmos V1 and V2? **Context:** I previously understood they were the same, but the V2 whitepaper includes a graphic that differentiates between them.
The V1 Cosmos didn’t have a Treasury (and we still don’t). The idea of a treasury was introduced in the ATOM 2.0 paper.

Thanks for the reply. Then, what is the role of the community pool in v1?

Its role is to do whatever the community spend proposals say it should do. That’s not a super satisfying answer but it’s the protocol truth!

Thank you! I have checked the revised proposal that Coinbase analyzed (I cannot include links in the text box)
Is there a defined description on what would be the differences between community pool and treasury ATOM 2.0?

Not beyond what’s in the document. There was plenty of discussion about the nuances in threads on the forum here. I think if you read the discussion threads, you’ll probably be able to figure things out.
