To reduce operational burden and voter fatigue several proposals are combined into monthly sprints. Each monthly sprint is structured the same way, so that SafeDAO stakeholders are aware of relevant events and can schedule when they will take action.

The following calendar shows the relevant dates
In case that the beginning or the end of a voting sprint event falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, this does not have any effect on the voting sprint processes.
Anyone can submit a proposal. Based on the proposal’s maturity, determined by a self-assessment from the authors, they can choose to submit the proposal to either Phase 0 or directly to Phase 1.
Phase 0 is optional, but recommended when discussing new ideas, since a successful proposal will need to garner momentum inside of the community.

The proposal moves to the draft stage if the authors determined by a self-assessment believe that the proposal is mature enough to vote on it (either after Phase 0 or directly).
