Proposals
Proposals are the means through which changes are made to the status quo. They may be drafted in response to a need identified by the Meta-Governance Working Group or by any party that meets the 100k $ENS minimum threshold. These proposals are submitted for a vote. Delegates cast their votes in proportion to the amount of tokens they hold in $ENS. If a proposal achieves quorum and is passed, it is then ratified and implemented. Executable proposals require a series of smart contract operations to be executed by the accounts controlled by the DAO, whereas social proposals do not.

Getting Work Done
Requests for Proposal (RFPs) are calls for contributors to perform tasks in exchange for DAO compensation. An overview of the RFP process is outlined as follows:
- Anyone who identifies a need can write and post an RFP on the forum.
- RFPs are managed by the Meta-Governance Working Group.
- Formal assignment and compensation arrangements are mediated by the RFP.
- RFPs that necessitate a change to the status quo will move to a DAO-wide vote.
To view the process at length, please refer to the ENS DAO Governance Documentation.
