# Acre Security Council ### **What is the Acre Security Council?** The **Acre Security Council (ASC)** is a committee responsible for managing risks, overseeing protocol upgrades, and executing emergency actions within the Acre ecosystem. Its key responsibilities include reviewing and approving vault strategies built on Acre before they proceed to a full DAO vote.
### **What does the Acre Security Council do?** The Acre Security Council approves vaults, partners, and strategists. The Council engages with diverse stakeholders, involving parties related to Acre, such as users, apps, wallets, SDKs, node operators, and other community members, in early decision-making for network upgrades and other related ecosystem strategy around vault integrations. The Council supports transparent decision-making, facilitating a clear process for discussions and updates, and ensuring all relevant parties are informed. ### **How does the Acre Security Council communicate?** The ASC uses the public discussion platform site: for communications, proposals, and open discourse. The ASC established an initial meeting on **July 22, 2025 at 10:00am EDT (14:00 UTC)** to introduce our inaugural council members, introduce our first governance vote, discuss and review items included in this vote, and provide instructions on how and where to cast votes. ### **What is the ASC Governance Process?** Proposals set forth to the ASC must have sponsorship from an active Security Council member, in order to move onto a tabulated vote. Proposals are set forth using the public forum: . Once a proposal has received sponsorship and has had ample time for discussion, a member of the ASC may call for a Council vote. ### **What is the Voting Process?** ASC voting procedure takes place asynchronously unless there is a time-sensitive vote requiring immediate attention. The ASC utilizes Snapshot, an offchain voting platform that acts as a temperature check, found here: Voting procedures utilize a 6/9 quorum, all active ACS members have 1 vote. Snapshots must run for a minimum period of 5 days. The snapshot platform automatically starts a time clock once a vote has been released. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
