IIP: 155 Title: Update Investment Account Multisig Status: Proposal Author: [@Finance.Nest](https://gov.indexcoop.com/u/finance.nest) Created: 2nd June 2022 * * * # Simple Summary This proposal seeks to modify the signers on the Investment Account Gnosis Safe. During recent efforts to deploy capital from this wallet we experienced difficulties in being able to find times where all signers were available. Investment Account: [0x462A63D4405A6462b157341A78Fd1baBfD3F8065](https://etherscan.io/address/0x462A63D4405A6462b157341A78Fd1baBfD3F8065) # Abstract The 4 of 7 multisig configuration implemented from [IIP–112](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-112-update-investment-account-multisig/3251) will be updated to be a 4 of 9, two signers are to be swapped out and two more added. @ahuja and @ncitron are to be replaced with the more active @Funkmasterflex and @allan.g. And add @Hammad1412 and @sidhemraj. Details around the type of assets held within the Investment Account are discussed in the [Investment Account Strategy Details](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/investment-account-strategy-details/2792) forum post and monthly Investment Account updates provided by @Finance.Nest The strategies deployed within the Investment Account are expected to be updated more frequently in the near future as we are witnessing the yield across DeFi fluctuate with market conditions and also through direction from the council given some investors attitude to risk. There is also the possibility that capital from the Investment Account is to be used as collateral and therefore we need to ensure there are active and available signers on the account. # Motivation We need to be agile to act quickly should we need to respond to market conditions, the signers being replaced have either left the coop or have become less active in recent months. # Specification Amend the Investment Account signers as shown below: - Remove @ncitron - Remove @Ahuja - Add @FunkMasterFlex - Add @Allan.g - Add @Hammad1412 - Add @sidhemraj The new signer structure will be: | Location | Roles | Operations Account | | --- | --- | --- | | North America | Product Nest | @anthonyb.eth | | North America | Product Nest | @Allan.g | | Europe | Finance Nest | ElliottWatts | | Europe | Investment Account Manager | @Matthew_Graham | | Europe | Growth Nest | MrMadila | | North America | Growth Nest | @FunkmasterFlex | | North America | Governance Nest | oneski22 | | Europe | Finance Nest | @Hammad1412 | | APAC | Product Nest | @sidhemraj | The Investment Account will be a 4 of 9 signer wallet. # Voting FOR: DO remove @Ahuja, remove @ncitron add @funkmasterflex, @allan.g, @Hammad1412 and @sidhemraj. Also update the account to a 4 of 9 multi-sig configuration AGAINST: DO NOT change the existing arrangement. # Copyright Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). ---

I’d like to suggest that we consider adding more signers and making the multi-sig a **4 of 9** instead of a 4 of 7. I recently had to swap out signers for the 3 of 5 EWG multi-sig that’s critical to product maintenance. One of the signers had problems with their hardware wallet, and one of the signers was not responding to messages. The other two signers had been left on the mult-sig even though they were no longer IC contributors. Eventually we got the signers updated, but it took a while and I was sweating. Luckily no multi-sig transactions were urgently needed. I like the model we use for Operations Multi-sig where a plurality of signers are needed rather than a majority. The benefits of requiring a majority of signatures are offset by the risks that someone is unavailable, or don’t have their hardware wallet with them, or we forget to remove people who have moved on. I really don’t ever want to get in a situation where a few signers are unavailable, and the remaining signers can’t reach quorum so no transactions can be made. Our funds would effectively be stuck in purgatory! What do people think? ---

I agree with this, makes a lot of sense. I will make amendments to the original post to increase the signer quantity and also update with an additional two account signers. ---

Thank you for sharing your experience @edwardk. There was a brief discussion in the Investment Account discord and everyone is on-board with proceeding with a 4 of 9 multi-sig signer requirement. ---
