Keep this short, just a paragraph or two._ ## Problem Statement _Describe why the above is a problem we have now or will have in the future. Just a paragraph or two._ ## Goals _Describe the goals that we wish to achieve when considering the options available. Be clear about what is important and what could be left to the future. Non-goals are also useful to list here to clarify intent._ ## Non-Goals (optional) _What is out of scope for this proposal? Listing non-goals helps to focus discussion and make progress. Highlight anything that is being deferred to a later phase of implementation that may call for its own enhancement._ ## Proposals _List at least two possible ways of achieving the goals, these are typically different technical approaches that have differing trade-offs so summarise the trade-offs. “Do nothing” is typically worth considering too._ ### Proposal 0: Do nothing _Describe what happens if we do nothing, how bad does the problem become (over what time frame)?_ ### Proposal 1: Title _Describe the first proposal, what are the benefits and trade-offs that this approach has?_ ### Proposal n: Title _Describe the nth proposal(s), what are the benefits and trade-offs that these approaches have?_ ## Other Notes
