# Proposal Lifecycle

Proposals in Organic follow a simple path. An idea starts as a draft in the forum, where anyone can refine the scope and add context. It then gets a quick review to check clarity and alignment with community rules. \
\
When it’s ready, the vote opens with clear text and links so members can decide. If it passes, we execute exactly what was approved and a short summary, so everyone can verify what happened.

**Lifecycle**

1. Draft in forum channel
2. Review by council
3. Vote opens with clear text and links
