Preamble

SEP: To Be Assigned
Title: <SEP title>
Author: <list of authors' names, GitHub handles, and optionally, email addresses, separated by commas>
Track: <Informational or Standard>
Status: Draft
Created: <date created on, in ISO 8601 (yyyy-mm-dd) format>
Discussion: <link to where discussion for this SEP is taking place, typically the mailing list>

Simple Summary

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Provide a simplified and layman-accessible explanation of the SEP.

Motivation

Should clearly explain why the existing protocol specification is inadequate to address the problem that the SEP solves. SEP submissions without sufficient motivation may be rejected outright.

Abstract

A short (~200 word) description of the technical issue being addressed.

Specification

The technical specification should describe the syntax and semantics of any new feature.

Design Rationale

The rationale fleshes out the specification by describing what motivated this particular design and why certain design decisions were made. It should describe alternate designs that were considered and related work, e.g. how the feature is supported in other protocols. The rationale may also provide evidence of consensus within the community, and should discuss important objections or concerns raised during discussion.

Security Concerns

All SEPs should carefully consider areas where security may be a concern, and document them accordingly. If a change does not have security implications, write "N/A".
