RFCs will only contain customer-facing syntax and behavior, not implementation details, and while we welcome all customer feedback on the proposal, the CloudFormation team will have final authority on decisions around the proposal.\n\n### Who should submit an RFC?\n\nIn general, anyone can submit RFCs, but it can be a time-consuming process, so we recommend that the community submit [feature requests](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-language-discussion/issues/new?assignees=\u0026labels=\u0026template=feature_request.md\u0026title=) to discuss the proposal at a high level. The CloudFormation team can then gather all the community feedback in feature requests to formulate the RFCs.\n\n## RFC Process\n\n### 1. Tracking issue\n\nEach RFC starts with a [tracking issue](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-language-discussion/issues/new?assignees=\u0026labels=\u0026template=rfc-tracking-issue.md\u0026title=). This issue is the hub for conversation, community signal (+1s) and a unique identifier for the RFC. CloudFormation team members will comment on the issue to help clarify problems, stabilize syntax and make sure no breaking changes are introduced. The goal of this discussion is to make sure there is no major disagreement on the high-level proposal.\n\n\u003e Before creating any issue, please make sure there are no similar issues in the issue list or RFCs in the RFC table.\n\nThe tracking issue includes a checklist which helps the RFC owner drive the RFC\nthroughout the process.\n\n### 2. RFC Document\n\nNow you can start drafting the RFC document itself.\n\nCreate a file under `RFCs/NNNN-my-feature` based on the template under\n`0000-template.md`, where `NNNN` is your tracking issue number and `my-feature`\nis descriptive. Follow the template which includes guidance on completing the RFC.\n\n### 3. Feedback\n\nOnce you have the initial draft of your RFC ready, please submit it as a pull\nrequest and start collecting feedback. The CloudFormation team will assign two reviewers within 5 business days.\n\n### 4. Sign-off\n\nBefore you can merge your RFC, you will need both reviewers to sign off on the RFC.\n\nOnce signed off, reviewers will add the `status/approved` label to the RFC pull request.\n\n\n### 5. Final Comments Period\n\nAt this stage, you have reached consensus about the majority concerns/questions\nbrought up during the review period. This is a period for the broader community to\nget a chance to look into this RFC, which usually takes about a week. If no\nmajor concerns are raised, your pull request is ready to be merged.\n\n### 6. Implementation\n\nOnce the CloudFormation Language team picks up the RFC and starts implementation, we will update the tracking issue accordingly\n- Started implementation (label: `status/implementing`)\n\n### 7. Complete\n\nOnce Implementation is complete, the CloudFormation Language team will change the status label to `status/done` and close the tracking issue.\n\n## Report bugs or suggest features in the CloudFormation Template Language\n\nWe welcome you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features.\n\nWhen filing an issue, please check existing open or recently closed issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already reported the issue.\n\nPlease use the [bug report template](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-language-discussion/issues/new?assignees=\u0026labels=\u0026template=bug_report.md\u0026title=) for reporting bugs and the [feature request template](https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/cfn-language-discussion/issues/new?assignees=\u0026labels=\u0026template=feature_request.md\u0026title=) for requesting new features.\n\n## Security\n\nIf you discover a potential security issue in this project we ask that you notify AWS Security via our [vulnerability reporting page](http://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/).
