# 1. (Off-chain) DRC Creation

Off-chain **dYdX Request for Comments** (DRCs) creation is the first step in the governance improvement process. Anyone can participate in the Governance Forum, create off-chain DRCs, and discuss improvements.

To create a DRC, use [this template](https://github.com/dydxfoundation/dip/blob/master/DIP-X.md) (available on our Github). The DRC should cover all the information of the potentially final DIP.

At a minimum, DRCs must include:

* Short and concise titles of the DRC
* A short and concise description of the proposal
* The rationale for the DRC, e.g. why?
* The title of the forum post must include DRC: with the short title of the DRC. E.g. DRC: New Market Request
* A community poll that community members can use to vote on improvements off-chain
