**Summary of Proposal**

To create a standardized naming system for proposals that pass their temperature check.

**Proposal Details**

After a proposal passes the ‘temperature check’, that is, the non-token vote done here on Discourse, or there was substantial discussion within the DAO, it is assigned a ‘DIP’ (DAO Improvement Proposal).

For consideration, we suggest a simple convention of:

DIP-1, DIP-2, and so forth.

Example: [[DIP-3] Quorum Proposal](https://forum.ssv.network/t/dip-3-quorum-proposal/1096)

Also, along with the naming convention, we’ll implement the DIP (DAO Improvement Proposal) category here on the forum. Each proposal assigned a DIP will be moved to that category for easy lookup and to separate substantial changes from minor discussions.

**Motivation for Proposing**

As the DAO matures, it deserves a more structured approach to its discussion of proposals. Therefore we believe we can take a very basic yet high-value step to implement a naming convention.

**Reasons supporting the proposal**

1. Low-effort implementation
2. Each proposal will have a clear reference

**Reasons against the proposal**

1. You dislike structure
