Dear list,
After planned work on BIP=E2=80=AF3=E2=81=B0 finished in February, BIP=E2= =80=AF3 was advanced to
Proposed in March 2025=C2=B9. A few minor adjustments were made to BIP=E2= =80=AF3
since then (see below). I have since April maintained a pull request
that would activate BIP=E2=80=AF3: https://github.com/bitco= in/bips/pull/1820.

At this point,=E2=80=AFBIP=E2=80=AF3 has received over 600 comments on GitH= ub and has
been discussed in multiple threads on this list. The proposal has been
Proposed for over seven months, and while several minor improvements
were proposed and processed, the proposal has no unaddressed objections stated here or on the activation pull request. A growing list of people has expressed explicit support for activating BIP=E2=80=AF3 by leaving an A= CK on
the pull request after reviewing the BIP:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1820= #issue-2990155954

I formally propose a motion to adopt BIP=E2=80=AF3 to replace BIP=E2=80=AF2= as our BIPs
Process.

Since BIP=E2=80=AF2 doesn=E2=80=99t specify a procedure for activating Proc= ess BIPs, I
suggest that people who wish to state their support leave an ACK on
#1820 or reply in this thread. Similarly, I would like to invite anyone to state concerns or raise objections here or on #1820.
While BIP=E2=80=AF3 has long been proposed and the activation PR has been o= pen
for over half a year, I suggest that we give all would-be reviewers
another four weeks, until 2025-12-02, before evaluating whether there is rough consensus for merging the activation pull request. This should be ample time to review and discuss BIP=E2=80=AF3 as well as the activation PR= ,
even for people that have so far not engaged with the material.

Best,
Murch
