Process:

  1. Proposal posted simultaneously on the governance forum and Snapshot.
  2. The forum post must include a clear justification of the emergency nature of the proposal.
  3. Debate and voting run concurrently for 24 hours.
  4. The higher quorum requirement (30%) aims to ensure that emergency decisions carry broad community legitimacy despite the compressed timeline.
  5. If quorum is reached and the proposal achieves a simple majority, the DAO Multisig may proceed with execution without delay, subject to applicable security, technical, and legal validation.

Abuse prevention: Any proposer invoking the Emergency category for a matter that does not constitute a legitimate emergency may see the proposal vetoed by the Association (see Section 4 below). Community members are encouraged to flag inappropriate use of the Emergency category on the governance forum.
