This will occur in the #proposal-discussion Discord channel. * Weak or undesireable projects will be removed from consideration at this time. "Bad fit" projects will be notified. #### November 29th: Submission Phase - Proposals Go On-Chain! * Projects that have gathered positive sentiment from the DAO will be invited to submit their proposal on-chain through the [DAOhaus portal](https://app.daohaus.club/dao/0x1/0x519f9662798c2e07fbd5b30c1445602320c5cf5b/proposals).
