# Introduction
OSMORA Amelioration Proposals (OAPs) are structured
documents that serve to drive changes imposed by OSMORA
by describing their fundamentals while allowing others to
amend/revise them.
## Purpose
The goal of having OAPs is to provide an organized means of proposing
and improving ideas that contribute to the betterment of society
and technology. These proposals can range from technical improvements
to societal reforms, and they are open to discussion and collaboration
for those who have understood and commited to the OSMORA oath.
## Audience
OAPs are intended for those who are commited to the OSMORA oath. These
proposals MUST only be considered official and binding when they are approved
by a number of OSMORA members and a single OSR (OSMORA Standards Reviewer).
# Requirements Language

# Structure
