Thesis

Modifying the External Governance team in the following ways:

Change current multisig members to the protocol leads
Approve docusign for AAVE
Add Luke Rosa to External governance team as AAVE protocol lead.
Use Discourse (forum.chicagodao.io) to conduct all future voting for external governance proposals.
Reduce quorum needed to execute.
Track external governance team members voting record
Application process for adding to external gov team

Change current multisig members to the protocol leads
update protocol lead’s responsibilities to include executing multisig when the time comes.
Create a new multisig for dao and transfer ENS to it
Protocol leads don’t have to ask a multisig to mobilize when there’s votes. Members on the multisig not interested in external governance don’t have to be pushed to vote every time there’s proposals.
Protocol leads can get more access to their protocol, for example maker lead can comment on proposals in the governance portal.
UPenn also does this
Following the model with multisig = BoD = core team, it will be unrealistic to get the entire BoD to execute polls and proposals especially in a high volume protocol like maker.
