# 6. Proposal Queuing & Execution

After a DIP has passed, any address can call the queue method to move the proposal into the timelock queue. A DIP can only be queued if it has passed.

| Parameter              | Description                                                                           | Short Timelock Executor | Merkle-Pauser Executor | Long Timelock Executor | Starkware Executor |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| Timelock Delay         | After a proposal passes and is queued, delay before the proposal is executed          | 2 days                  | 0 days                 | 7 days                 | 2-9 days           |
| Execution Grace Period | The time after which a proposal becomes executable, during which it must be executed. | 7 days                  | 7 days                 | 7 days                 | 7 days             |
| Minimum Timelock Delay | Minimum delay before a proposal is executed (after queuing)                           | 1 day                   | 0 days                 | 5 days                 | 4 days             |
| Maximum Timelock Delay | Maximum delay before a proposal is executed (after queuing)                           | 7 days                  | 1 day                  | 21 days                | 21 days            |

As soon as the voting period ends and a proposal has succeeded, anyone can call queue to begin the timelock delay.

For the Starkware priority timelock executor, it has a priority period of 7 days out of the 9 day timelock delay. This means that after 9 days anyone can execute a proposal, but within days 2-9 (the priority period) Starkware has the option to execute the proposal.

In practical terms it's:

* Days 0–2: No one can execute
* Days 2–9: Only Starkware can execute
* Days 9: Anyone can execute
