Dear Steering Committee

I'd like to propose that we accept Proposal #452: Articulate principles for GHC evolution

Discussion: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/452
Proposal: https://github.com/goldfirere/ghc-proposals/blob/principles/principles.rst

Remember, we are not debating the principles themselves, all of which are embodied in earlier proposals. Rather we are discussing

the usefulness of having a place where we articulate the principles, and
a process for updating them over time, namely by PRs against this proposal

The idea is that the latest incarnation of the proposal is always the current set of agreed principles.

Please respond by Friday 17 Dec. Because it seems uncontroversial, I'll take silence as assent, unless a big discussion arises.

Thanks

Simon

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
