This EIP type is the most common,  they describe about changes that affect the Ethereum implementations such as **Network Protocol**,  **rules of block transactions**, **compatibility applications**. 
For now, this type of EIP is divided in four subcategories.
- Core.
- Networking.
- Interface.
- ERC.

EIP (Standard)

Through this EIP you cannot create features or improvements it's only for proving general guides or information to the Ethereum community.

This EIP is more used for sharing ideas, expand knowledge or educate others. users or developers are free to ignore or follow the advises provided through this EIP

EIP (Informational)

Through this EIP  changes of how Ethereum operates are proposed or the Governance itself, these EIPs can also include proposals for changing to the decision-making process, organizational and administrative aspects of Ethereum, They mean to improve  the way how Ethereum manages itself.

EIP (Meta)

The EIPs has been separed into several types, each of them has its own list of improvements. Note that each EIP includes technical specifications and smart contract standards

these types are:
- Standard.
- Informational.
- Meta

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Are known as standards for proposing or suggesting an improvement for the Ethereum Network as a formal way such as protocol changes, operation codes etc. EIP's will be discussed by the community, if accepted, it's going to be implemented by the Ethereum developers, also it can be rejected due to priority, development effort etc.

EIP Template

Before a EIP gets implemented in Ethereum should pass through the next status:
1. **Idea**: A pre-draft idea and not tacked within the EIP Repo.
2. **Draft**: A first one version, open to discuss and formally tracked.
3. **Review**: The Author marks the EIP as ready and request for a peer review.
4. **Last Call**: Set a review end date, it takes typically 14 days.
5. **Final**: 

Note that not All EIPs get implemented.

6. **Stagnant**: When a EIP draft or review stays inactive for 6 months or more.
7. **Withdrawn**: When the EIPs Author have withdrawn the EIP.
8. **Living**: Corresponds to a special status which means the EIP will be continually updated and does not get a final state.

EIP status

Types of EIP

This process typically involves creating a *Github* pull request including a Markdown file describing the proposal in detail including:
- Problem statement
- Technical solution
- Potential Impact

The EIP will be discussed by the community and if it's beneficial, it may be accepted.

Before submitting a EIP it's recommended:
- Understanding Prior Work
- Working in groups throught the places like  https://ethereum-magicians.org, https://github.com/ethereum/eips.
- Understanding Community Consensus 

EIP Informal Process submit

It involves several steps to ensure the proposal is throughtly evaluated:
- **1**: Propose a Ethereum core proposal.
- **2**: Present the EIP to developers through a discution on an *AllCoreDevs* call.
- **3**: Review an Iterate your proposals based on feedback
- **4**: Incorporation as a new upgrade if approved
- **5**: Activation on the Ethereum Mainnet if tested on the Testnets
