# **Governance Updates: Week of February 5, 2024** ### Key Updates [Establishing the Aave Protocol Embassy (APE)](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-establishing-the-aave-protocol-embassy-ape/16445/3) The Aave Chan Initiative proposes creating the Aave Protocol Embassy (APE) to represent Aave DAO in the governance of other protocols. APE aims to utilize Aave’s voting power in DAOs, especially for Long-Term Incentive Plans on networks like Arbitrum, using a 3/4 Gnosis SAFE multisig structure. This initiative seeks to address the current limitations in Aave’s structure that hinder direct governance participation, thereby enhancing its meta-governance capabilities. [Orbit Program Renewal](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-orbit-program-renewal/16550) The proposal discusses renewing the Orbit program to compensate recognized delegates with GHO and ETH for governance activities. It introduces gasless voting and maintains targeted gas rebates for proposal creation and payload deployment, leveraging open-source scripts for transparent gas expenditure tracking. The proposal includes eligibility criteria for Orbit renewal, emphasizing delegate participation rate and impact, with a budget of 80,000 GHO and 4.6755 ETH for the covered period. ### Setting Emission Admins/Managers Several community members and contributors have proposed roles as emission managers for incentives related to the Aave pools and Chains.
