A.1.7Facilitator Enforcement Obligations

The Facilitator must act swiftly when an AD is suspected of breaching the requirements defined in this Article, or the requirements defined in the Alignment Conserver Framework.

Any Scope Facilitator has the authority to formally raise an allegation of AD misalignment with the Core Facilitator, which then obligates the latter to initiate a formal adjudication pursuant to the Adjudication Process.

A Facilitator's failure to act promptly in addressing credible evidence of AD misalignment or to mitigate the risk of misalignment spreading among ADs is considered an act of misalignment itself. Formal allegations of such failure must be adjudicated by the Core Facilitator pursuant to the same process referenced in the above-cited document.

A.1.8Emergency Response Coordination

Emergency response is coordinated by the Emergency Response Group ("ERG"). The Emergency Response Group is a group of Facilitators, Aligned Delegates, and Ecosystem Actors that include domain experts in different areas of the Sky Ecosystem. The Emergency Response Group is tasked with reacting to emergency scenarios that are critical to the survival of the Sky Protocol.
