Find below our processes, which of course are subject to changeFINERACT is currently in incubation.  Many processes are not yet defined.  We will need to agree on initial processes and on how to change processes as our community needs evolve.

Bootstrapping the processes

...

1. For small changes, the contributor who wishes to propose a change to the process writes a comment on the confluence page describing the desired diff.
2. For large changes, the contributor who wishes to propose a change to the process creates a child of the existing page with the new content and marks it at the top as a draft or change proposal.
3. The proposer then submits the proposed change to the dev mailing list for consideration.
4. Once the proposer believes the discussion has concluded, the proposer adjusts the documentation (if necessary) to reflect the consensus as he or she understands it. 
   later addition:  we have adopted lazy consensus see details on Committer's Zone
5. The proposer removes drafts and comments the documentation with any major findings still missing there.
6. The proposer notifies the rest of the community of any significant changes via the dev mailing list.  Insignificant changes require no notification – the proposer should apply his or her own discretion.
