Included:
- PIP-67: Update Membership of the Protocol Council, discussed in Polygon Protocol Governance Call 34.
Motivation
Refreshing the Protocol Council membership ensures alignment with evolving community representation, and maintains operational transparency and efficiency.
Updates to Protocol Council membership at this time were motivated by PIP-54 and PIP-68, which jointly seek to improve the efficiency and decentralization of Polygon PoS by granting more efficient control over contract upgradeability to the Protocol Council. In preparing for this transition, all current members of the Council were asked to reconfirm their interest, alignment, and availability to serve on the Council.
As a result of this process, the updated membership list reflects the removal of Justin Drake (Ethereum Foundation) and Anthony Sassano (Daily Gwei). The removal of each member is proposed with their full consent and in no way is a reflection on their skills, abilities, or the quality of their contributions.
The below individuals are furthermore proposed to fill the seats left vacant by Justin and Anthony’s departure:
Pablo Sabbatella
Pablo Sabbatella, also known as pablito.eth, is a blockchain operational security researcher. He is the founder of Opsek, which offers operational security audits and training to web3 companies. He is also a member of SEAL (Security Alliance) and the Optimism Security Council. He is host of the Blockchain Security Series podcast.
Jack Sanford
Jack is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sherlock. Over the last 5 years, Jack has worked closely with hundreds of crypto teams to deliver successful security outcomes, including many of the biggest DAOs in the space. Jack has hands-on experience in high stakes situations including war rooms, exploit mitigation, and funds recovery. Jack has been a leading voice in the crypto security ecosystem, speaking about security topics at DevCon, DeFi Security Summit, ETHDenver, and more.
Each of the above members has been audited and approved to join by existing members of the Council.
The updated membership list also proposes replacing two (2) individual representatives from Polygon Labs Engineering and Polygon Labs Security teams- Mudit Gupta, and Jordi Baylina- with two (2) ⅗ multisigs, one held by each organization.
- Polygon Labs Engineering will propose upgrade payloads while also acting in a traditional signer capacity.
- Polygon Labs Security will ensure operational integrity throughout the upgrade process by verifying payloads through to execution
Execution
The migration will be proposed in 4 batches (4 txns). [A1] and [A2] relate to the multisig on Ethereum, and [B1] and [B2] relate to the mirrored multisig on Polygon chain.
Payload Ethereum Side
[A1] PC Normal Multisig on Ethereum.json
[A2] PC Emergency Multisig on Ethereum.json
Payload Polygon Side
[B1] PC Normal Multisig on Polygon.json
[B2] PC Emergency Multisig on Polygon.json
