This Section defines the Operational Weekly Cycle, a predictable weekly framework for recurring operational decisions. The Operational Weekly Cycle is implemented via Governance Polls and Executive Votes. The Cycle complements the Monthly Governance Cycle by enabling recurring weekly decisions to be made that require quicker action than is allowed by the Monthly Governance Cycle.
Every Monday, the Operational Weekly Cycle begins. It implements standard recurring operational decisions, proposed in the form of polls.Operational Weekly Cycle proposals (”proposals”) can be proposed by Facilitators and recognized Ecosystem Actors. The proposals should be posted to the Sky Forum by Friday at 8:00 am UTC to ensure the Governance Facilitators have sufficient time to prepare the needed polls for the following Monday.After confirming that the proposer has the authority to request a poll, the relevant Scope Facilitator must post an explicit approval of the poll request as a reply to the proposer’s Forum thread. The Governance Facilitators must then prepare and publish the Governance Poll.The Operational Weekly Cycle polls run for three days.The outcome of the polls determines the contents of the upcoming Executive Vote.The Governance Facilitators confirm the Executive Vote contents and deliver the Executive Sheet to the spell team. The spell team prepares and reviews the Mainnet spell. The spell team deploys the Mainnet spell; and then creates and reviews a Mainnet fork.The Governance Facilitators add the Executive Vote to the Voting Portal and communicate this to the Sky Ecosystem community. The Executive Vote has an expiration of thirty (30) days; if an Executive proposal does not pass within this timeframe, it expires and can no longer have any effect on the Sky Protocol.
