2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the [Lead Overseers](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/dora/lead-overseer) shall draw up a common oversight protocol specifying the detailed procedures to be followed for carrying out the day-to-day coordination and for ensuring swift exchanges and reactions. The protocol shall be periodically revised to reflect operational needs, in particular the evolution of practical oversight arrangements.
3. The [Lead Overseers](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/dora/lead-overseer) may, on an ad-hoc basis, call on the ECB and ENISA to provide technical advice, share hands-on experience or join specific coordination meetings of the JON.
