Every week, once BAL destined for L2 gauges is minted and bridged, the `notify_reward_amount(token)` function in the L2 ChildChainStreamers must be called, which lets the contract know that it has received tokens and it should start distributing them.

Anyone can call that function if there’s no active distribution period for that streamer. But otherwise only the AuthorizerAdaptor can call it.

In order to enable timely distribution of incentives, a multisig controlled by Balancer Labs is authorized to call that function through the AuthorizerAdaptor on Polygon and Arbitrum. This proposal seeks governance approval for the same to be possible on Optimism.

# Specification

The DAO Multisig `0x043f9687842771b3dF8852c1E9801DCAeED3f6bc` will initiate a transaction to the Authorizer `0xA331D84eC860Bf466b4CdCcFb4aC09a1B43F3aE6` calling `grantRole` with the following arguments:

- role: `0xf5567e3e06eaf06daf0617f0048403b4fc0af19ead758a00eaa16d1506419816 `
- account: `0xFB2ac3989B6AD0e043a8958004484d6BAAb2c6Ab`

The role can be verified in the [Balancer Labs monorepo](https://github.com/balancer-labs/balancer-v2-monorepo/blob/master/pkg/deployments/action-ids/optimism/action-ids.json#L144)  
[The Gnosis Safe](https://gnosis-safe.io/app/oeth:0xFB2ac3989B6AD0e043a8958004484d6BAAb2c6Ab/settings/owners) corresponding to the address above has the same owners as the [mainnet multisig](https://gnosis-safe.io/app/eth:0x02f35dA6A02017154367Bc4d47bb6c7D06C7533B/settings/owners) mentioned in [this proposal](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/proposal-boosted-pools-authorize-balancer-labs-to-emergency-pause/2399)
