+Each of these thresholds is a governance parameter. There is one
+additional threshold, `Q5`, related to security relevant protocol
+parameters, which is explained below.
 The initial thresholds should be chosen by the Cardano community as a whole.
 The two thresholds for the Info action are set to 100% since setting it any lower
 would result in not being able to poll above the threshold.
 
+Some parameters are relevant to security properties of the system. Any
+proposal attempting to change such a parameter requires an additional
+vote of the SPOs, with the threshold `Q5`.
+
+The security relevant protocol parameters are:
+* `maxBBSize`
+* `maxTxSize`
+* `maxBHSize`
+* `maxValSize`
+* `maxBlockExUnits`
+* `minFeeA`
+* `minFeeB`
+* `coinsPerUTxOByte`
+* `govActionDeposit`

 > It may make sense for some or all thresholds to be adaptive with respect to the Lovelace that is actively registered to vote.

 The _network_,  _economic_ and _technical_ parameter groups collect existing protocol parameters that were introduced during the Shelley, Alonzo and Babbage eras.
 In addition, we introduce a new _governance_ group that is specific to the new governance parameters that will be introduced by CIP-1694.
