     7  # Requests for Comments
     8  
     9  A Request for Comments (RFC) is a record of discussion on an open-ended topic
    10  related to the design and implementation of Tendermint Core, for which no
    11  immediate decision is required.
    12  
    13  The purpose of an RFC is to serve as a historical record of a high-level
    14  discussion that might otherwise only be recorded in an ad hoc way (for example,
    15  via gists or Google docs) that are difficult to discover for someone after the
    16  fact. An RFC _may_ give rise to more specific architectural _decisions_ for
    17  Tendermint, but those decisions must be recorded separately in [Architecture
    18  Decision Records (ADR)](./../architecture).
    19  
    20  As a rule of thumb, if you can articulate a specific question that needs to be
    21  answered, write an ADR. If you need to explore the topic and get input from
    22  others to know what questions need to be answered, an RFC may be appropriate.
    23  
    24  ## RFC Content
    25  
    26  An RFC should provide:
    27  
    28  - A **changelog**, documenting when and how the RFC has changed.
    29  - An **abstract**, briefly summarizing the topic so the reader can quickly tell
    30    whether it is relevant to their interest.
    31  - Any **background** a reader will need to understand and participate in the
    32    substance of the discussion (links to other documents are fine here).
    33  - The **discussion**, the primary content of the document.
    34  
    35  The [rfc-template.md](./rfc-template.md) file includes placeholders for these
    36  sections.
