The Protocol Advisory Council is a group of Ecosystem Actors that have been approved by Maker Governance to carry out advisory work related to improving the content of the Protocol Scope Artifact.
Members of the Advisory Council are directly approved by Maker Governance through a governance poll, and must fulfill specific criteria.
The Protocol Facilitators must ensure that potential Advisory Council Members can apply to be approved by Maker Governance, using an open process with clear instructions as per 1.1.1.3.
Advisory Council Members must be Ecosystem Actors that are not involved in any business, political, or other governance-related activity that could result in a conflict of interest, either directly or indirectly. They must also have relevant skills for providing professional expert input on the content that the Protocol Scope is covering.
The Protocol Facilitators must periodically, when it is relevant, review the Advisory Council Applications, and if they find applications that are suitable, bring them to a vote through an MKR governance poll. When Advisory Council Applications are posted on the Maker Forum, which must follow the template as per 1.1.2.4.1A, the Protocol Facilitators have a review period of 30 days. During this review period, the applicant must host a Community Q&A and shall answer as many questions and doubts as possible.
The Protocol Facilitators can extend this deadline, if necessary, by 15 days, provided they posted the justification in the Maker Forum.
Once the review period is ended, the Protocol Facilitators must publish the response to the application on the Forum, along with a description of the reasoning behind the decision. If approved, the application will continue with the Governance Process and proceed to a vote as per 1.1.1.3.
Upon a successful vote, the Protocol Facilitators must arrange a service contract with the Advisory Council member, which must be made public. Approved Advisory Council Members are added to 1.1.1.6.1A.
