# Helium Improvement Proposals (HIP) Helium Improvement Proposals are the core unit of change in the Helium Network. _"How a bill becomes a law"_ More details on process and how to participate can be found in HIP 7, ["A Process For Managing Helium Improvement Proposals"](0007-managing-hip-process.md). If you have questions or feedback, please see the [Discussion](https://github.com/helium/HIP/discussions) section of this Repo, where you can open forums to propose changes, provide feedback, and discuss ideas on how to make Helium Governance better. **Looking for HIP19 hotspot manufacturer applications?** Those have moved to their own dedicated repository:
