# Updating VIP Scoring Criteria

This guide explains how to update the VIP scoring criteria for a rollup.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Publish a Forum Proposal">
    Use the provided [proposal
    template](https://forum.initia.xyz/t/epoch-x-rollup-vip-update/263) to
    submit a forum proposal on the [Initia Forum](https://forum.initia.xyz)
    outlining the new scoring criteria and the changes. Submit this proposal at
    least one week before the VIP scoring criteria update date so the community
    can review and discuss it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Comment on Original Proposal">
    In your original VIP whitelist proposal forum post, add a comment that links
    to the new draft so community members can follow the discussion.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Notify the Initia Team">
    Inform the Initia team about your new criteria and share the link to the
    corresponding forum post so the VIP Committee can review it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="VIP Committee Review">
    The VIP committee will verify that your new criteria follow the [scoring
    policy](/home/core-concepts/vip/scoring#scoring-criteria) and are logically
    sound. If the new scoring criteria meet the requirements, the VIP committee
    will approve them and notify you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Public Announcement">
    After the VIP committee approves the new scoring criteria, announce the
    changes at least one week before it is implemented to your community.
    Examples include posting on Discord, X (Twitter), and your other
    communication channels. The announcement must clearly explain every change,
    giving the exact date and time when the new criteria take effect. It should
    also link to the forum post and list any actions users must take so they
    have enough time to prepare.
