+# OpenShift-Ansible Proposal Process
+
+## Proposal Decision Tree
+TODO: Add details about when a proposal is or is not required. 
+
+## Proposal Process
+The following process should be followed when a proposal is needed:
+
+1. Create a pull request with the initial proposal
+  * Use the [proposal template][template]
+  * Name the proposal using two or three topic words with underscores as a separator (i.e. proposal_template.md)
+  * Place the proposal in the docs/proposals directory
+2. Notify the development team of the proposal and request feedback
+3. Review the proposal on the OpenShift-Ansible Architecture Meeting
+4. Update the proposal as needed and ask for feedback
+5. Approved/Closed Phase
+  * If 75% or more of the active development team give the proposal a :+1: it is Approved
+  * If 50% or more of the active development team disagrees with the proposal it is Closed
+  * If the person proposing the proposal no longer wishes to continue they can request it to be Closed
+  * If there is no activity on a proposal, the active development team may Close the proposal at their discretion
+  * If none of the above is met the cycle can continue to Step 4.
+6. For approved proposals, the current development lead(s) will:
+  * Update the Pull Request with the result and merge the proposal
+  * Create a card on the Cluster Lifecycle [Trello board][trello] so it may be scheduled for implementation.
