The Sky Protocol has often required changes outside of the standard Weekly Governance Cycle and Monthly Governance Cycle to help maintain the peg or to quickly respond to changes in the Ecosystem. This Section defines a general protocol for handling emergency or urgent situations. governs the resolution of emergency / urgent situations involving the Executive Process.
Emergency preparedness is a critical priority. The Support Facilitators, in consultation with the Protocol Security Workstream Lead, must regularly evaluate the emergency preparedness of the Emergency Response Group. This can be done through running fire drills or through extensive postmortems after an actual incident.
For Ecosystem Actors appointed to the Emergency Response Group, fulfilling the responsibilities of this role is as critical to their overall performance evaluation as their customary deliverables.The Support Facilitators and Protocol Security Workstream Lead are required to document all instances of Emergency Response Group Members’ failure to meet emergency-preparedness requirements. Given their domain expertise and proximity to each emergency situation, the Support Facilitators and Protocol Security Workstream Lead are granted the discretion to evaluate emergency-preparedness deficiencies. Generally, they are required to take swift action to address non-negligible emergency-preparedness deficiencies in the following manner.If the deficient Emergency Response Group Member is an Ecosystem Actor individual, the individual should be removed from the Group.If the deficient Emergency Response Group Member is part of an Ecosystem Actor team, the specific member who has failed to meet requirements should be removed from the Group.If different Emergency Response Group Members from the same Ecosystem Actor team consistently fail to meet requirements, the Ecosystem Actor team as a whole should be removed from the Group.The removal of a Member from the Group is done at the discretion of the Support Facilitators and the Protocol Security Workstream Lead. However, the Support Facilitators and Protocol Security Workstream Lead may not proceed with removal unless it is supported with clear documentation. Such documentation must be made available to all Emergency Response Group Members for review.When an Ecosystem Actor is removed from the Emergency Response Group for deficient performance, the Support Facilitators must transparently announce this action via a post to the Sky Forum. Further, the removal must be incorporated into the evaluation of the Ecosystem Actor’s overall performance.The Support Facilitators has the discretion to decide if documentation supporting the removal should be retained internally or publicly shared on the Forum (with redactions, if needed).
