Governance Consensus: Governance Immunity

Discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/cosmosnetwork/comments/105rrn1/governance_consensus_governance_immunity_evmos/

Exposition

In order to separate the governance process from levers of power that may delegitimize it, we propose a governance immunity for the active validators.

Measures

1. Validators shall not be obstructed from doing their governance duties:

__1.1. vote in Governance

__1.2. create on-chain Proposals

__1.3. perform their duty to follow the governance process according to prop #83 or updated versions

____1.3.1. create/edit their own proposals as discussions

____1.3.2. comment on other proposals being discussed

____1.3.3. answer to comments

2. While any active validator is banned or otherwise obstructed: no governance action should be performed save what is necessary to remedy this situation

Meaning of the Decision

• if this proposal passes: the governance will be able to protect itself from outside interference
• if this proposal does not pass: any validator may be eliminated from the discussion or/and access to governance by off-chain means

Only the chains that will pass proposals compatible with this one will have the legitimacy to enter common governance platforms for the InterChain.
