Dear Committee, this is your secretary speaking: Alejandro and I have drafted a process for GHC20xx https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/372 https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/ghc20xx-process/proposals/0000-ghc-extensions.rstI’ll propose Eric Seidel as the shepherd.b I’ll propose Simon PJ as the shepherd, as this is a procedural metaprocess that benefits from chair involvement. This is mostly the outcome of discussions we already had, so I don’t expect we need a lot of further discussion, and could maybe vote soon. Note that there are two alternatives in “2.2 Process“. They differ in the form the community is invited to be involved, and also in the overall weight of the process. The main difference is Do we want to _encourage_ broad discussion of individual extensions (the point of Alternative 2), because we believe it is useful and healthy, or do we want to avoid stirring such discussions (Alternative 1), because we don’t believe they would add much, would be distracting and time consuming, and because there is enough existing signal (the poll, reddit, the PR comment section, …). There are procedural differences that follow from that, e.g. using a separate repository (Alternative 2) or using our existing one (Alternative 1), but in a way the overall aim is the core of this alternative. Simon, once you think all interesting points have been raised (which may already be the case) I suggest you call for a ranked vote with the options “Reject”, “Alternative 1”, “Alternative 2”.
