Here is the process for making a KIPCIP:

1. Click 

   Create from template
   templateName 96600065 templateId 96600065 title CIP-NEXT: Insert Title Here buttonLabel Create CIP

   . Take the next available CIP number and give your proposal a descriptive heading. e.g. "CIP 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] CIP-{your CIP number} {your CIP 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. When you feel you have a finalized proposal 
4. 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 lazy consensus (3 binding +1 votes and no binding vetoes). The vote should remain open for 72 hours.
5. Please update the CIP wiki page, and the index below, to reflect the current stage of the CIP after a vote. This acts as the permanent record indicating the result of the CIP (e.g., Accepted or Rejected). Also report the result of the CIP vote to the voting thread on the mailing list so the conclusion is clear.

Use this number as the identifier for your KIP CIP and increment this value.
