**What is TGIP?**

Within the system described and proposed in TGIP1, Telcoin Governance Improvement Proposal (TGIP) process is the constitutional-choice process by which the Miner Assembly, made up of all four Miner groups (Stakers, Developers, Liquidity Miners, Validators), proposes, ratifies, and implements changes and upgrades to the Telcoin Governance System.

Each Miner Group must simultaneously or sequentially approve of the same TGIP proposal in order for it to be ratified and implemented. All aspects of the Telcoin Governance System may be altered using the TGIP process.

Submit and review constitutional proposals to set and revise the terms and conditions of governance (e.g. Council Rules) and certain positions at the collective-choice level. Learn more about the [constitutional level of Telcoin Platform governance](https://www.telcoin.org/documentation/association-governance/association-rules/constitutional-choice-rules).
