## Instructions & Templates Every BAP starts here. Before anything goes to a vote, it needs to be discussed, challenged, and refined by the community. To open a discussion, **create a new topic** in this category and follow the template that matches your BAP type. Give the community enough time to review and respond. The strongest BAPs are the ones that have been pressure-tested through open discussion – actively seeking feedback and incorporating it meaningfully increases your chances of passing a vote. * * * ### Discussion Templates Use these templates when opening a discussion thread on this forum: - [Discussion Template: Spending BAP](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_myeDBVzDK-C5G-ZpC5J0nKTp_ek29dWtj-l7MfXmXQ/edit?usp=sharing) - [Discussion Template: Technical BAP](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VizLriBeopZpbMZCpZk8_662_URWT4AgG7KF5g5ZHfg/edit?usp=sharing) - [Discussion Template: Governance & Structural BAP](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MclNoqRF_8THn9VBjTeivWrqZjJKryOJIHXLBIU_txs/edit?usp=sharing) These templates are to be copy-pasted under #Discussion for BAPs as a new topic with necessary information added in the blanks. * * * ### Before Moving to a Vote Before moving a discussion to a formal BAP for voting on [gov.gobob.xyz](https://gov.gobob.xyz), the BAP author **must** post a pinned comment on their discussion thread summarising: 1. The key feedback received during discussion. 2. Any changes made to the BAP as a result. 3. Any feedback that was considered but not incorporated, and why. 4. **This step is mandatory.** It ensures the community’s input is visible and traceable before a formal vote begins. * * * ### BAP Templates (for submission on BOB voting) Once the discussion process is finished and when you’re ready to submit a formal BAP on [gov.gobob.xyz](https://gov.gobob.xyz), use the template that matches your BAP type: - [BAP Template: Spending/Treasury](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uBHzrjtxzENRKgFBTLynsYUUbZcioLMqCDstWzMqSuk/edit?tab=t.0) - [BAP Template: Governance & Structural](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Qwo8mOhhD2XCcRMypnS4SiDImLuCggZX8FxzwaGg1U/edit?tab=t.0) - [BAP Template: Technical](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YnCVd1vhwfxJK_ExorgI2xIuubpn7j9F6ucFmB7xf3A/edit?tab=t.0) These templates are to be copied, filled in with necessary information and then pasted on the BOB governance forum under “new proposal”. ---
