Sifcore: all concerns from Sifcore are immediately valid to seek out a performer and begin a new workflow process.

Established SifDAO councils: any individual with concerns directly related to their predefined roles can seek out a performer and begin the workflow process. For concerns outside of the scope of their role, a vote is required within the council to seek out a performer and begin a new workflow process. If the new workflow overlaps with existing contribution zones – that contribution zone should be included in the decision making process as well.

The Community: the community can and does express concerns freely, however in order to formally begin seeking a performer in SifDAO and initiate the workflow process, some level of consensus (with quorum) should be reached by the community to express that the concern represents a larger community concern.
