TEMPLATE
This is a template that clearly outlines how to open a new topic in the governance category. This template will automatically be present whenever someone begins a new topic. New governance topics that do not follow this template may be rejected or removed.
Introduction
Please review & use one of the following templates to create a Process Proposal, Social Proposal, or Request for Proposal.
Questions to ask yourself prior to writing:
- Why should people vote for this proposal or respond to this RFP? Does it serve a greater purpose?
- How is this Proposal or RFP unique or different from others?
- Does this Proposal serve as a reply to a “Request for Proposals”? (please include link if so)
- Is this Proposal necessary? Or is it a “nice to have”?
- Could this Proposal be joined with a previously submitted Proposal? (Proposals can be submitted jointly, please make sure you are seeking an accurate and updated Ask (tokens, etc) to reflect revised scope.
NOTE: make sure to post your proposal as its own topic; not as a reply to another topic (unless said topic specifically requests that responses are in the replies).
