# Fuchsia RFCs

The [Fuchsia RFC process](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process)
is intended to provide a consistent and transparent path
for making project-wide, technical decisions. For example, the RFC process can
be used to evolve the project roadmap and the system architecture.

The RFC process evolves over time, and can be read here in its [detailed current
form](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process). It is also summarized below.

## Summary of the process

- Review [when to use the process](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process#when-to-use-the-process).
- Socialize your proposal.
- [Draft](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process#draft) your RFC using this [template](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/TEMPLATE) and share with stakeholders. See [creating an RFC](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/create_rfc) and [RFC best practices](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/best_practices).
- As conversations on your proposal converge, and stakeholders indicate their support, email [eng-council@fuchsia.dev](mailto:eng-council@fuchsia.dev) to ask the Eng Council to move your proposal to [Last Call](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process#last-call).
- After a waiting period of at least 7 days, the Eng Council will accept or reject your proposal, or ask that you iterate with stakeholders further.

For detailed information, follow the [RFC process](https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/rfcs/rfc_process).
