[ARFC] Governance Framework v2
AI summary
This proposal updates the Aave DAO's governance framework, replacing the old version with a new one that consolidates existing processes. It removes the mandatory 'TEMP CHECK' stage, which was a preliminary discussion phase, and refreshes the roles of various service providers. The goal is to streamline the governance process, reducing the time it takes from 19 days to 13 days, while maintaining risk and technical standards.

This benefits the DAO by increasing efficiency, but it removes a preliminary discussion stage, which might reduce early community input on proposals. No specific financial allocations are mentioned, so there are no direct monetary gains or losses for individuals.
