Proposing A Change
------------------
If you would like to propose a change in Conservancy's official policies,
please submit a
[pull request on k.sfconservancy.org](https://k.sfconservancy.org/policies/pull-request).
Since Kallithea's workflow is confusing to some, Conservancy will accept
[pull requests on GitHub](https://github.com/conservancy/policies/pulls), but
the latter will only be accepted from members of Conservancy Project
Leadership Committees.
Once you've created a pull request, post a message summarizing your reasons
for the change to
[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).
(Note that anyone is permitted to join the list, and posts by
non-list-members are held in moderation.) Participate in discussion there,
and Conservancy staff will either explain why the change isn't possible, or
will merge it into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch, and will present
the change at the next Conservancy Board of Directors meeting.
Using These Policies Elsewhere
------------------------------
Other organizations are encouraged and welcome to create forks of this
repository for their own policies at their organization. We ask that
Conservancy's name be removed from any forks that you make to avoid
confusion. We've licensed these policies [CC-0](CC0-1.0.txt) to make it easy
to incorporate the text into other documents, but ask that you nevertheless
respect our wishes and remove our name from your forked versions. Thanks!
