ECIP Process Overview

Motivation

There is no clear path to initiating or promoting a change to the ETC network. I hope this serves as a guide to what each of the steps are in the ECIP process.

ECIP steps

• ECIP Idea
  • You think something could make ETC better.
  • This is up to you.
• ECIP Presentation
  • You can schedule a time to present this idea to the community.
  • This is not mandatory, but will obviously benefit your idea.
• ECIP Draft
  • You draft up your changes in the form of an ECIP.
  • You can get started here
• ECIP Discussion
  • This is where technical and philosophical debate occurs in a healthy environment.
    • i.e. #general in Discord is not ideal
  • We should utilize the actual Github ECIP for this.
• ECIP Implementation
  • This is when you work to impelmenet changes to the network for testing.
• ECIP Activation
  • This is the process of activating changes on the network. Once the timing mechanism is activated or signaled in by miner vote, or some other mechanism to conclude the process.
