# Writing a Proposal

The proposal process allows any member to propose an initiative or change. [forum.apecoin.com](https://forum.apecoin.com/) is where this governance-related discussion is held. Community members must own at least 1 ApeCoin and register for an account before participating.  After doing so, they can view proposals and submit their own as well.
