# How to make a proposal

## Proposal Requirements

The purpose of these requirements is to allow Aurorians to make informed decisions before casting their votes. The first step is to open a new post under the #proposals section in Discord with the following information at a minimum:

* Title
* Purpose/Goal
* Analysis of merits, drawbacks, and risks (if applicable)

Once the forum post reaches 20 thumbs-up reactions, the initiator must write the proposal in a Google Doc to submit it to the Council.

* This document does not need to be an extensive report (e.g., a single A4 page will suffice). However, it is the responsibility of the proposer to provide a clear argument and analysis.
* When the Council decides to move forward with a proposal for voting, they will also provide their thoughts on the merits, drawbacks, and risks, generally within a single A4 page.\
  Additional documents are optional.

The Council will review the proposal, provide feedback, and then set up a Matrica vote, where every holder will be able to vote in favor of or against the proposal. /!\ If a proposal is meant to hurt the project, the Council can decide to reject it without any votes.

| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Emergency     | <p>Meant for pressing matters that must be decided upon immediately.</p><ul><li>Can only be proposed by Council Members (so if you think that there is something that needs to be decided urgently please reach a counselor) and</li><li>It requires a qualified majority of 4 votes from the Council to be put to a vote (Head of Council + 3)</li></ul> |
| Ordinary      | Meant for day-to-day and ordinary course of business decisions, basically any proposal that it's not urgent or extraordinary.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Extraordinary | Meant for matters that either require the use of a significant portion of our treasury ($100,000) or involve the council structure (replace a member that is suddenly indisposed to carry out his/her duties as Council Member, increase or reduce the number of Council Members, impeach an existing Council Member, etc.).                              |
