[ARFC] Risk Stewards Cooldown Reduction & Umbrella Pauser Role Reassignment
AI summary
This proposal from Aave DAO aims to make two operational changes. First, it reduces the waiting period for Risk Stewards to implement certain risk parameter changes, like adjusting supply and borrow limits, from 72 hours to 36 hours. This change applies to six specific parameters. Second, it reassigns the ability to pause Aave Umbrella stkTokens to the Aave Protocol Guardian, which is an existing emergency multisig that already has pause authority across other parts of Aave. This means that pausing these tokens can happen faster in emergencies.
If this proposal passes, Aave will be able to react more quickly to market changes by adjusting risk parameters faster, potentially allowing for quicker growth in certain assets. It will also streamline emergency responses for Umbrella stkTokens by centralizing the pause function under the existing Aave Protocol Guardian, making the protocol more resilient to incidents. No specific group loses out, but the Aave Protocol Guardian gains more direct control over pausing Umbrella stkTokens.

Summary
This ARFC operationalises two changes surfaced after the active incident response management over the past months. First, the Risk Steward minDelay is reduced from 72 hours to 36 hours on six cap and IRM parameters where the conservative cap posture meaningfully constrains response speed. Second, the pause role on Aave Umbrella stkTokens is reassigned to the Aave Protocol Guardian, the standing Aave-wide emergency multisig that already holds pause and freeze authority across Aave deployments, with all other Umbrella governance action permissions remaining with the Aave Governance…
