AI summary

This proposal seeks to renew the ENS DAO Security Council for another two-year term. The Security Council is a group of 8 individuals, where 4 of them must agree (a 4-of-8 multisig), whose sole purpose is to cancel malicious proposals in the ENS timelock, preventing harmful actions. The current council's authority expires on July 24, 2026. The renewal involves deploying a new, audited SecurityCouncil contract that includes an 'extend' function, making future renewals simpler. One member, lefteris.eth, will be replaced by coltron.eth.

Impact

If passed, the ENS DAO will maintain its emergency safeguard against malicious proposals, ensuring continued protection of the treasury and protocol. The Meta-Governance Working Group will fund the audit of the new contract, though a specific dollar amount is not mentioned. The change in council membership replaces an inactive member with an active delegate, potentially improving responsiveness.

Abstract

The ENS DAO Security Council’s veto authority expires on 24 July 2026, when renounceTimelockRoleByExpiration() becomes callable at Fri, Jul 24, 2026, 18:52:59 UTC. This proposal renews the council for a further two-year term. It deploys an updated SecurityCouncil contract that adds a extend() function callable only by the DAO timelock, so future renewals are a single governance vote rather than a fresh deployment and role re-grant. The new contract is audited before it is deployed, with the Meta-Governance Working Group funding the audit. The 4-of-8 multisig and the council’s canc…
