Hey @funkmasterflex,

> Is there a process for resubmitting an IIP after a failed attempt? We’ve had multiple IIPs voted strongly against by INDEX holders which were then resubmitted for a second vote.

While there are no hard rules for resubmission, IIPs are usually rerun only once after failure / not reaching quorum. For any that are voted down, granted the author has made a visible effort to make changes to a failed proposal, I see no issue in rerunning. Thanks for bringing this to light though, we will create a resubmission framework for everyone to follow moving forward.

Governance Nest does keep track of the execution status of all IIPs on the [IIP tracker](https://index-coop.notion.site/c62741fd18414b62aed0ae97bb9f319b?v=e801e8bc76fc4703aea4b8e4e091505f), and we do a quarterly [clean up](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-140-sunset-unexecuted-iips-no-48-62-and-96/4000) of any IIPs that remain unexecuted for \> 3 months. Unfortunately for unexecuted proposals, prior scrutiny is difficult considering issues that may lead to non-execution only arise after the fact and rarely before, but as stated in this forum post, we ask that all relevant parties ( **affected, deciding, executing** ) are aligned on the desired outcome.

I hope the steps we are taking such as allowing contributors to run their own proposals from start to finish without any GovNest involvement create a more frictionless and efficient environment for all.
