Sorry for the delay! > [@danimim](#): > > - How will the **selection process** for these members be defined? > - Will the **Scroll Foundation appoint** Security Council members, or will there be a **DAO-led election mechanism** in the future? > - If decentralization of this process is planned, it would be beneficial to **mention it in the Constitution** , possibly after the end of **Cohorts A and B**. Selection process - they’re being selected by the Scroll team initially. I don’t believe the future process has been outlined. That is something that can be addressed initially or as the first amendment to make. I will speak with the team about it this week. > [@danimim](#): > > blockful is willing to **analyze the governance-related smart contracts** This feels as though it should be a separate convo. Feel free to provide more info in a separate post, which can start a general conversation around governance security. > [@danimim](#): > > **Security Council holds significant power over governance** , the **9/12 multisig setup does make sense** , as it provides **strong security guarantees**. However, we encourage a discussion on whether this **balance between security and efficiency** is optimal for Scroll DAO. Happy to have this discussion, though personally, I think it’s a bit premature. I think there is still so much left to do in the coming months on the core operations and activities of the DAO. As a result, it’d be great to focus limited attention to these initial aspects instead of taking on too many things from the start (especially given the current setup risks being inefficient (less urgent) vs insecure (more urgent). Please do feel free to bring up the conversation when it feels appropriate. > [@danimim](#): > > Additionally, **does the Security Council have full autonomy over governance changes?** > If so, how can the DAO **ensure accountability and mitigate the risks**? Sorry, can you elaborate on your question > [@danimim](#): > > - How will the **Governor Manager’s multisig** be structured? > - Will it also be a **9/12 multisig** like the Security Council? > - Who will be the **initial members** of this multisig? This is one of the places I need to make sure to link to the gov docs. The manager is managed by the Foundation and is a 2/3 managed by the gov team and someone on the ops side. > [@danimim](#): > > - Are there **plans to decentralize** this process over time? What is the power / control it has that is worth decentralizing? I see the main thing as who has the power to post proposals. That can be adjusted without decentralizing the control of the manager contract to start, which feels like the priority. I will have to double check the other things the Manager wallet controls and then can add more thoughts. > [@danimim](#): > > We believe the **DAO should explore mechanisms to increase voter participation** while avoiding **quorum stagnation due to low voter engagement**. Agreed! I want to make sure we have a discussion on it (and thanks to all who have [contributed to the post](https://forum.scroll.io/t/ideas-on-improving-delegated/301) so far) and prioritize this in the next few months. If you don’t mind copying your suggestions over to that post, that’d be great! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-scroll-dao-constitution/448)._
