# Proposal Requirements

1. Proposals need to be created on Discourse.
2. Proposals need to be posted in the correct subCategory.
3. Each subCategory is managed by the subDAO representatives responsible for organizing and prioritizing the subDAO’s proposals to the DAO (decisions that are not solely within the subDAO’s purview).
4. There are 3 different types of proposals:
   * **Non-Funding**: Any proposal that does not require fund allocation funds or changes the governance structure.
   * **Funding**: Any proposal that (re)allocates funds but doesn’t change the governance structure.
   * **Governance**: Any proposal that changes the governance structure of the DAO or subDAO.
5. Each Funding and Governance proposal needs to have a prior \[Discussion] thread.
6. Each proposal with a mandatory \[Discussion] thread needs to link to this discussion.
7. Each proposal intended to be voted upon should be about a single issue.
8. Each topic can contain more than one proposal.
9. Each proposal should give the option for an abstention.
10. Each proposal intended to be voted upon needs to be in \[English] or needs to contain a translated abstract.
11. A proposal shouldn’t be edited or amended once posted; a proposal can’t be edited after the first vote is cast.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.grapes.network/grape-network/grape-dao/proposals-and-voting/proposal-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
