# Proposal process on OVN Governance

1. Creating a Proposal: An [OVN](broken://pages/l4nK3u2do2s2vOds6BIZ) Holder initiates a proposal,such as change [Agent OVN](/governance/main-components.md#ovn-agent) and upgrade [protocol timelock](/governance/main-components.md#timelock).
2. Proposal in Pending State: The proposal is initially in a pending state, awaiting further actions.
3. Active Proposal: Afterward, the proposal becomes active and is open for voting, during which a quorum requirement must be met.
4. Successful Proposal: If the proposal garners the necessary support and meets the quorum requirement, it succeeds. Proposal Unsuccessful: Proposal canceled
5. Queue Period: The successful proposal is then placed in a queue for execution, where it awaits its turn for another one-week period.
6. Execution of Proposal: Finally, the proposal is executed, and its intended actions are carried out.
