Fuchsia RFCs

The Fuchsia 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 is detailed in RFC-0001: Fuchsia Request for Comments process, along with RFC-0006: Addendum of the RFC process for Zircon.

Summary of the process

Review criteria for requiring an RFC.
Socialize your idea.
Draft your RFC using this template.
Iterate your idea with appropriate stakeholders.
After stakeholders signoff, email eng-council@fuchsia.dev to prompt the Eng Council to decide whether to accept your RFC.
If your RFC is accepted, a member of the Eng Council will comment on your change stating that the RFC is accepted, will assign the RFC a number and mark your change Code-Review +2. Your RFC can now be landed.
