**This crucial discussion post introduces a process about how proposers from the community should engage in governance on Picasso now that OpenGov is live.**

**It will remain in the discussion phase until feedback is provided from the PICA community and any suggestions are taken for alignment. Once there is an agreement amongst all, it will be remarked on-chain.**

1. A proposal author should submit their idea to Picasso’s Polkassembly governance forum, where they should be open to community feedback for at least five days before moving forward. This should include at least the four following sections: overview (1), details (2), incentive (3), and proposer background (4).
2. Taking into account feedback, the proposal author can submit their proposal on-chain
   - The proposer must first submit the preimage (if you need assistance with creating the preimage or would like secondary approval, reach out to our team on Discord)
   - Note: your preimage deposit will be returned once via unnoting after the proposal is submitted
   - The proposer then can submit the Referendum, and place the decision deposit (which covers the on-chain storage cost of the proposal)
3. Thus veins the lead-in period, where the community can begin voting
4. The proposal will then move to the decision period when the following are met:
   - The referenda waits the duration of the prepare period (ensuring enough time for discussion)
   - There is capacity in the chosen track
   - A decision deposit has been submitted and meets the minimum requirements of the track
5. During the decision period, voting continues and the referendum has a set amount of days to reach approval.
   - If the Referendum is rejected, the decision deposit will be returned
6. If the Referendum is approved, it enters the confirm period where it must remain approved for the duration of this period.
   - If the referendum fails to meet these requirements at any time, it moves back to the decide period; if it again meets these requirements, it moves back to the confirm period and the decide period is delayed until the end of the confirm period
7. If the referendum receives enough approval and support throughout the confirm period, it will be approved and move to the enactment period
8. Once the enactment period elapses, the referendum will be executed
