# Notional Governance

Notional governance process:

1. Community members can propose ideas on the Notional forum as a [Notional Request for Comment (NRC)](https://docs.notional.finance/notional-governance/notional-governance-process/notional-governance/nrcs). The NRC author should use the feedback received from the community to refine his idea.
2. A recognized delegate can formalize an NRC into a Notional [Improvement Proposal (NIP)](https://docs.notional.finance/notional-governance/notional-governance-process/notional-governance/nips) and move the proposal to a [Snapshot vote](https://docs.notional.finance/notional-governance/notional-governance-process/notional-governance/snapshot-voting). Note that during the initial 4 month period following the launch of the delegate program where the set of recognized delegates is empty, Notional Inc. will move NRCs to NIPs and publish NIPs on Snapshot. 
3. If the snapshot reaches quorum and passes, the proposal will be implemented.
