> Constitutional AIP - Extend Delay on L2Time Lock

Voting Rationale: [Alex Lumley (Savvy DAO) Delegate Communication Thread - #37 by AlexLumley](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/alex-lumley-savvy-dao-delegate-communication-thread/26147/37)

As stated in my previous Commenting Rationale ([Constitutional - Extend Delay on L2Time Lock - #41 by AlexLumley](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/constitutional-extend-delay-on-l2time-lock/26470/41)) , I hoped this proposal would include the points below. While these have not been included I do hope future iterations will include them:

• **Consider Emergency Scenarios:**

• Define specific emergency situations where a shorter time lock could be justified.

• This ensures flexibility to respond swiftly in rare but urgent cases, balancing speed and security.

• **Continuous Evaluation of Delay’s Impact:**

• Regularly assess how the delay affects user confidence and operational efficiency.

• Use data-driven insights from these evaluations to inform future adjustments if needed.

• **Incorporate Periodic Reviews:**

• Schedule periodic reviews to assess the time lock’s relevance and effectiveness.

• Keeps the system responsive and aligned with the evolving needs of the Arbitrum ecosystem, promoting agility and adaptability.
