Rationale

While QIP-0047 successfully established the transition through Q1 2027, a predetermined rotation schedule is required to minimize governance drag and maintain operational consistency. Establishing these dates ahead of time ensures that lead custodians can manage their respective oversight windows without immediate transition volatility during peak migration periods.

Proposed action

Ratify the lead-custodian rotation order for Q2 2027 (Marcus Haldane, Chief Operating Officer), Q3 2027 (Gunnar Brandt-Hansen), and Q4 2027 (to be determined by the Custody Subcommittee). The rotation will continue to follow the established flying-V formation, providing trailing custodians with a stable governance wake for the remainder of the forecast period.

Risk factors

A rotation occurring during a high-activity molting window may result in a temporary reduction in administrative oversight. Furthermore, if a lead custodian is required to step back due to external factors before the quarter concludes, the position will remain vacant until the subsequent scheduled rotation.
