+# ABC Proposal Process
+
+## 1. Introduction
+To ensure consistency across our organization, we need a structured way to document and adopt standards, best practices, and policies. This process is inspired by Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) and follows a clear lifecycle for discussion, approval, and adoption.
+
+## 2. Proposal Document Structure
+Each proposal (ABC-XXXX) should follow a well-defined structure:
+
+### **Title:**
+A concise and descriptive title for the proposal.
+
+### **Abstract:**
+A brief summary of what the proposal covers and its intended purpose.
+
+### **Motivation:**
+Explain why this proposal is needed. Highlight the problem it aims to solve and the benefits of adoption.
+
+### **Specification:**
+Detailed description of the proposal, including any technical specifications, guidelines, or standards.
+
+### **Implementation Plan:**
+Outline the steps required to roll out this proposal. Include potential timelines, dependencies, and responsibilities.
+
+### **Impact & Considerations:**
+Discuss potential challenges, risks, and necessary adjustments. Consider backward compatibility and adoption hurdles.
+
+### **Author(s):**
+Name(s) of the person(s) who drafted the proposal.
+
+## 3. Process for Adoption
+1. **Draft Submission:**
+   - New proposals are created as markdown files in the `/proposals` directory.
+   - The document should follow the ABC-XXXX format.
+   
+2. **Review & Discussion:**
+   - The proposal is submitted as a PR to the repository.
+   - Team members review, discuss, and suggest modifications.
+   
+3. **Approval & Merging:**
+   - Once consensus is reached, the proposal is approved and merged.
+   - The proposal status is updated to **Accepted**.
+   
+4. **Implementation & Monitoring:**
+   - Teams adopt the approved proposal in workflows and projects.
+   - Regular reviews ensure the proposal remains relevant.
+
+5. **Deprecation & Updates:**
+   - If a proposal becomes obsolete or is replaced, its status is updated accordingly (e.g., **Superseded**, **Deprecated**).
+
+## 4. Numbering & Naming Convention
+- Each proposal follows the format `ABC-XXXX`, where `XXXX` is a sequential number.
+- Consider adding category prefixes, e.g., `ABC-STANDARD-0001` for coding standards, `ABC-GUIDELINE-0002` for best practices.
+
+## 5. Review & Maintenance
+- Periodic reviews ensure proposals remain relevant.
+- Updates can be proposed through amendments (e.g., `ABC-XXXX-A1`).
+- Team members are encouraged to contribute refinements over time.
+
+---
+
+This structured process will help maintain consistency and clarity in organizational standards while ensuring they evolve through collaboration.
