   .
   If you don't have permission, please send an email with your Wiki ID to dev@cassandra.apache.org and request permission. Also add an entry to the table CEPs under discussion.
   Take the next available CEP number and give your proposal a descriptive heading. e.g. "CEP 1: Proposing an Apache Cassandra Management process".
   
   
2. Fill in the sections as described above.
   
   
3. Start a [DISCUSS] thread on the Apache mailing list. Please ensure that the subject of the thread is of the format [DISCUSS] CEP-{your CEP number} {your CEP heading} The discussion should happen on the mailing list not on the wiki since the wiki comment system doesn't work well for larger discussions. In the process of the discussion you may update the proposal. You should let people know the changes you are making.
   
   
4. As the CEP nears completion, consider adding any additional design documentation (see below) to the CEP, especially where it summaries working group discussions.
   
   
5. Once the proposal is finalized call a [VOTE] to have the proposal adopted. These proposals are more serious than code changes and more serious even than release votes. The criteria for acceptance is consensus (3 binding +1 votes and no binding vetoes). The vote should remain open for 72 hours.
   
   
6. Please update the CEP wiki page, and the index below, to reflect the current stage of the CEP after a vote. This acts as the permanent record indicating the result of the CEP (e.g., Accepted or Rejected). Also report the result of the CEP vote to the voting thread on the mailing list so the conclusion is clear.
