+Introduction
+============
+Substantive changes to LLVM projects need to be acceptable to the wider
+community, which requires gaining community consensus to adopt the changes.
+This is done by posting an RFC and obtaining feedback about the proposal.
+
+Process
+=======
+
+Writing an RFC
+--------------
+The process begins with writing a proposal for the changes you'd like to see
+made. The proposal should include:
+
+* a high-level overview of what changes are being proposed,
+* information detailing the motivation for why the changes are being proposed,
+* detailed information the proposed changes and how they impact different parts
+  of the project, and
+* a list of any open questions the community should explicitly address.
+
+Once the contents of the proposal are ready, the proposal should be posted to
