# 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.*](https://guides.regen.network/guides/network-governance/discussion#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.
