This proposed solution is to create an emergency fallback mechanism in case the governance canister is ever down, but not fall back all the way to asking a super-majority node providers to deploy a new version of the binary manually. The proposed solution is a mechanism to have an alternative proposal submission, voting, and execution exclusively to update just the Wasm code of the governance canister in case it is ever down that collects votes from node providers instead of neurons (the latter being impossible since the governance canister is down) and requires ⅔ + 1 of nodes to agree.
