# Governance

Aave Governance — a group of more than 100,000 wallet addresses who can make proposals and vote on such proposals — can vote to add/remove:

* "**Permission Admins**" (also referred to as whitelisters) that perform KYC, AML, antifraud and onboarding services to enable institutions or private investors to join the Aave Arc market.
* **Assets** from the Aave Arc market.

{% hint style="info" %}
Proposals to add/remove additional whitelisters or assets must go through Aave governance.
{% endhint %}

In the event Aave Governance votes affirmatively on a proposal to update or amend the Aave Arc market, the proposal is queued in the `ArcTimelock`. The [ArcTimelock](/docs/aave-arc-timelock-executor.md) works as an extension of current Aave Governance. The `shortExecutor` calls the queue method with the "real" action to perform and it gets registered as `ActionsSet`.

The market guardians can collectively veto non-compliant proposals during the period when it is queued in [`ArcTimelock`](/docs/aave-arc-timelock-executor.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
The Short Executor is the only one able to queue actions to the ArcTimelock.
{% endhint %}
