### [Stage One of the Request For Proposals](https://steemit.com/steemalliance/@steemalliance/official-call-for-structure-proposals-or-stage-one) has been officially announced.
> # Details Of The Proposal Process > The goal of these proposals is for us, the community, to come up with the most beneficial structure of this foundation that we possibly can. In order to do so, we believe we need to allow time for feedback as well as collaboration. > With this in mind, The Working group will be splitting this process up into (3) 2-week time periods or “stages”. With the goal being that these proposals will evolve and improve during this time due to the feedback they are receiving from the community itself. This also allows time for individuals writing proposals to be able to see other proposals and possibly lead to multiple designs being combined (by those designing them) to make something even better through collaboration. > This after all is not a competition, but rather the community coming together to try to build something that will be beneficial for us all. ## We plan to kick of this stage with a Q & A style meeting to explain the process in detail, answer questions and address specifics that have been brought up.
# Tomorrow, Sunday Feb 17th at 8pm UTC In [The Steem Alliance Discord Server](https://discord.gg/JfF297h)
**This is an opportunity for the community to come together and discuss this process in an open floor format, but also to discuss ways we all can not only help to build this foundation, but to help to improve Steem as a whole.** ## The full town hall meeting will be recorded and posted on the @steemalliance blog. So, even if you can't make it, you can still take part. Just simply leave your specific question below and then check back for the post of the recording itself.
**The floor will be open for discussion and questions from the community, as well as a bit of explanation of the process from the Working Group themselves.**
### Come and be apart of the discussion!
*This is the community's foundation, we just have to come together to build it first...*

_{**What is the Steem Alliance?**} _{* The Steem Alliance is an idea of a community coming together to build a foundation with the collective goal of improving Steem as a whole.} _{* The goal of this future foundation is to be the combined “face of the chain”, working alongside additional groups as well as Steemit Inc. to better the Steem platform together. With a main focus on helping to push Steem into the mainstream arena with focus on marketing, upkeep of Steemit.com, development of steemd, outreach and Steem events. Funding would need to be fundraising/profit based but also with large seed from Steemit Inc. itself.} _{* The goal of this Working Group is to oversee the establishment of the future foundation while ensuring transparency, fairness and that the community's voice is heard. Once the foundation is established, Working Group is disbanded.}
