Proposing A Change

------------------

If you would like to propose a change in Conservancy's official policies,

please submit a

[pull request on k.sfconservancy.org](https://k.sfconservancy.org/policies/pull-request).

Since Kallithea's workflow is confusing to some, Conservancy will accept

[pull requests on GitHub](https://github.com/conservancy/policies/pulls), but

the latter will only be accepted from members of Conservancy Project

Leadership Committees.

Once you've created a pull request, post a message summarizing your reasons

for the change to

[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).

(Note that anyone is permitted to join the list, and posts by

non-list-members are held in moderation.)  Participate in discussion there,

and Conservancy staff will either explain why the change isn't possible, or

will merge it into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch, and will present

the change at the next Conservancy Board of Directors meeting.

Using These Policies Elsewhere

------------------------------

Other organizations are encouraged and welcome to create forks of this

repository for their own policies at their organization.  We ask that

Conservancy's name be removed from any forks that you make to avoid

confusion.  We've licensed these policies [CC-0](CC0-1.0.txt) to make it easy

to incorporate the text into other documents, but ask that you nevertheless

respect our wishes and remove our name from your forked versions.  Thanks!
