> PIP-93 proposes an 11-signer council drawn from 10 organizations, with separate governance structures on Ethereum and Polygon.

Polygon community draft PIP-93 would apply an 8-of-11 security approval policy on Ethereum and Polygon, using a common council design while keeping one governance structure on each network.

The proposal would consolidate multisigs associated with the Polygon Protocol Council, Polygon PoS Council and AggLayer / zkEVM Security Council into an 11-signer Security Council. The signers would represent 10 organizations: Polygon Labs would hold two seats, and each of the other organizations would hold one.

The draft would publish the participating organizations’ names but keep individual signers’ identities and wallet addresses private. It describes that approach as a way to reduce social-engineering and coercion risks.

Routine upgrades and administrative changes could be submitted through the Polygon Labs Operations multisig with approval from five of its nine signers, then face a seven-day time lock without requiring Security Council approval for each change.

The Security Council would be able to veto a transaction during the delay, bypass the time lock to execute a change immediately, or resume paused contracts. The Polygon Labs Operations multisig could pause contracts, but it could not bypass the time lock to execute upgrades or resume paused contracts.

PIP-93 remains a draft.
