{{Anchor|GuidelineChangeProcedure}}
== Guideline Change Procedure ==
How a Packaging Draft becomes a Fedora Packaging Guideline, in six easy steps!
 
=== Step One: Draft Guidelines ===
All Fedora Packaging Guidelines changes start out as Draft documents. Any Fedora contributor may propose new or amended Packaging Guidelines. To create a new Draft, add a new page under [[PackagingDrafts]]  on the wiki. Once you're happy with the Draft, add it to the [[PackagingDrafts/DraftsTodo | DraftsTodo table]] . Draft authors are highly encouraged to announce the draft on the fedora-packaging mailing list.
 
=== Step Two: Packaging Committee Review ===
The Packaging Committee will consider items on the [[PackagingDrafts/DraftsTodo | DraftsTodo]]  in its weekly meetings and on the mailing list. The meetings and mailing list are open to the public, and Fedora contributors are invited and encouraged to participate (especially if you are a Draft author).
 
=== Step Three: Packaging Committee Vote ===
The Packaging Committee votes on Drafts. A majority quorum is required for a Draft to be ratified by the FPC. Currently, five yes votes are required for Draft approval. Approved drafts are listed in the Action Items section of the [[Packaging/GuidelinesTodo | GuidelinesTodo table]]  and marked "ratify".
 
=== Step Four: FESCo Ratification ===
FPC approved drafts are presented to the [[Development/SteeringCommittee | Fedora Steering Committee (aka FESCo)]]  for final ratification. When [[Development/SteeringCommittee | FESCo]]  approves drafts, the Action Items section of the [[Packaging/GuidelinesTodo | GuidelinesTodo table]]  is updated, and the item is marked "writeup".
 
=== Step Five: Writeup ===
Once a draft is approved by [[Development/SteeringCommittee | FESCo]] , the Draft text is added to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines. The Draft item is then moved from the Action Items section of the [[Packaging/GuidelinesTodo | GuidelinesTodo table]]  to the Resolved Items section.
 
=== Step Six: Announcement ===
As the final step, the new Packaging Guidelines (or changes to the existing Guidelines) are announced on the fedora-maintainers and fedora-devel mailing lists.
