The proposal category is the main parent category for all things proposals.

If you have something to propose, please:

1. Use the auto-generated template
2. Write a specific and concise title
3. Add a laymans/ELI5 non-techy version, as a summary.
4. Add an abstract: what **will** be done if the SIP is implemented (keep it below 200 words).
5. Write a longer motivation with links and references if necessary.
6. Add specifications if necessary.
7. Formulate clear **for** and **against** positions.
8. Include a poll to measure sentiment (public, results on vote).
9. Don’t rush with putting a proposal on-chain, keep the discussion going for at least 7 days.

The process will be:

```auto
Proposal -> Discussion -> Codification -> Voting -> Conclusion -> Execution -> Reporting

```
