# AIP Draft Template

Proposals can cover a wide range of topics, from changes to the DAO’s operations to new initiatives for the ApeCoin ecosystem. A new proposal can be simple or complex, but for it to advance through the AIP process it needs to follow the [AIP Draft Template](https://forum.apecoin.com/t/aip-draft-template/6331).

Once a proposal is made, it is open for discussion by the community on the Forum. After the discussion period and a couple review processes, the proposal is put to a vote if it meets all requirements. If the proposal is approved by the community, it is then implemented by either the Working Groups or the DAO Administrators.
