Dear Committee,

This is your interim secretary speaking:

Articulate principles for GHC evolution, proposing a new "principles" document to be added to the proposals repo, has been proposed by me.
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/452

https://github.com/goldfirere/ghc-proposals/blob/principles/principles.rst

I propose Simon PJ as the shepherd, as this is something of a meta-proposal, appropriate for shepherding by our chair.

Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in 
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process

Thanks,
Richard
