Governance participants (senate members, sudo-level accounts) can propose changes, cast votes, or execute privileged commands that affect the entire network. They must have a **coldkey** with the relevant governance role (senate membership or sudo privileges).

Should the "Senator's Guide to 'BTCLI'" be removed completely, given that it currently doesn't exist/work?


### Operational Control

Currently, operational control of the Bittensor blockchain is exercised through the [Triumvirate](../resources/glossary#triumvirate), a [multisig](../keys/multisig) 2-of-3 that controls [sudo](../resources/glossary#sudo) operations. The Triumvirate consists of appointed Opentensor Foundation employees who have held their keys since early in Bittensor's history, essentially acting as stewards of the blockchain on behalf of the Bittensor community. While this centralized model was beneficial in bootstrapping Bittensor, transitioning to a decentralized model is required to fulfill Bittensor's mandate for true decentralization.

Considering that the current Triumvirate is Vune (Latent), Carrot (TAO.com) and ??? (I forgot who the third person is), it's not entirely OTF already.
