# Text Proposal

Text proposals are the most basic form of proposal; they don't have any direct ramifications on the software. These are often called signalling propsals as they are largely used to poll for sentiment about a proposed change or course of action.

*Note: On-chain proposals start life as a discussion on Comonwealth. There is a* [*suggested minimum one week discussion period*](https://github.com/regen-network/governance) *before a proposal is officially submitted, but two weeks of open discussion is more common. To submit a discussion follow the directions* [*here.*](/guides/network-governance/how-to-use-commonwealth/discussion.md#create-a-discussion)

### 1. Access the [Regen Network Discussion Page](https://commonwealth.im/regen/) on Commonwealth

a. You will need to be logged in to create a proposal. Confirm your account name is listed in the upper right hand corner and not a log in prompt.

b. You will be redirected to a form for your Proposal. For "Proposal Type" select "Text Proposal". Provide your Proposal a title and a thorough description. The deposit amount is in **uregen** which is equal to one millionth of a $REGEN. 200 $REGEN is required to submit a proposal, or 200000000 uregen.

c. Click "Send transaction" to submit your proposal. You will be prompted to approve a transaction with your Keplr wallet and then Commonwealth will redirect you to the new proposal's page.

## 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://guides.regen.network/guides/network-governance/how-to-use-commonwealth/text-proposal.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.
