| 06:24 | <Jesse> | it's become common to call things stage -1 prior to that point |
| 07:31 | <rkirsling> | -0 is kinda perfect, actually |
| 07:32 | <rkirsling> | still 0, but in a less positive way |
| 09:48 | <Rob Palmer> | If we're going to start differentiating between pre-stage 1 proposals I think it would be worth us documenting this somewhere, e.g. on how-we-work even if it's not part of the formal process. Until now I assumed Stage <1 were all in the same bucket. |

| 13:30 | <Rob Palmer> | Whatever meaning or difference we assign to the pre-stage 1 proposals (delegate involvement, agenda referenced, presented-but-not-advanced) to determine "you can call it stage 0 vs -1" should be documented - even if it's just a community convention. Or we just say "they are all the same and outside our scope". |
| 13:38 | <rkirsling> | I've described Stage 0 in presentations before as "an idea you had in the shower and wrote up in Markdown", i.e. "any idea which someone has put into a presentable state", wherein the thing keeping it from Stage 1 could very well be finding a champion |
| 13:39 | <rkirsling> | would be unfortunate to have that not be valid |
| 13:42 | <rkirsling> | (I think -0 is a fun non-serious turn of phrase but -1 is just enraging) |

| 14:27 | <rkirsling> | definition of Stage 1 goes without saying |
| 16:31 | <ljharb> | oh right, i misread your comment |
| 16:32 | <ljharb> | so yeah, technically your stage 0 description is right, but the thing that would let it be in the proposals table is having a champion and being on an agenda, past or future |
