Proposal (Example)

Proposals are initiated to propose a potential modification to Cascadia via a Cascadia Improvement Proposal (CIP). Discussions are started as a [Temperature Check], then moved to [CIP] and vote, after community feedback and discussion. The progression from [Temperature Check] to [CIP] is a collaborative process. CIPs are intended to provide a consistent pathway for proposing changes to Cascadia, ensuring that all stakeholders have an opportunity to be heard.

Each CIP must contain:

1. Title: This is the title, labelled either [Temperature Check] or [CIP].

2. Author: Who is proposing the idea?

3. Summary: This is a one-sentence summary of the proposal.

4. Background/Motivation: This is the main body of the proposal.

5. Specification: This is what will be implemented should the proposal be approved.

6. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): How is performance measured?

7. Reversion: For how long will this proposal be active before it is automatically reverted based on the stated KPIs?

8. Voting: This outlines the voting options.
