The following steps should be followed when there is a proposal for a new Policy in the Wiki, or a change to an existing Policy is being suggested.

1. Create the page in a sandbox and put a policy proposal template on it.
2. Post it on the Wiki Contributors' Corner Forum and, if possible, the Community Meeting Agenda.
3. Add a link from the proposed page and its Discussion page, to the forum post.
4. In the Forum post, link to the Sandbox containing the proposed page and its Discussion page.
5. Give it two weeks for feedback, and then request that a forum moderator post it with a survey for acceptance. 

• To find a Forum Moderator, scroll to the bottom of the main Forum page and click on "View Forum Leaders".  A list of moderators will appear, and you can contact one of them to post the survey. giving a two-week time period for responses.

6 When the proposed policy is accepted, move it from the sandbox to a Wiki page with the correct title, and replace the Proposal template with the Policy template.

Existing Policy:

1. Create a specific proposal for the changes in a sandbox.
2. Follow steps 2-6 above.
