Review Comment:
   It might be nice to give some context for people who find this file without 
the context of the rest of the PR. Something like this, perhaps:
   
   ```suggestion
   
   **NOTE**: This is an example proposal for use as a template
   
   ```

+# Proposals
+
+This proposal process is intended for significantly impactful additions to the 
Parquet spec. The goal is to facilitate those projects and help them being 
contributed to Parquet.
+For example, changes that are not forward compatible like adding a new 
encoding or a new compression algorithm (older implementations can not read new 
files). [see guidelines for more 
details](https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#general-guidelinespreferences-on-additions)
+This gives better visibility to those projects which require coordination in 
several implementations.
+Bug fixes, code only features or minor changes to the spec that can be ignored 
by older implementations can simply be filed as a github issue.
+
+## Proposal lifecycle
+
+Discuss -> Draft/POC -> Implementation -> Approval
+
+### Discuss
+Start a [DISCUSS] thread on the mailing list ([email protected]) with 
your idea. At this point, the community can discuss whether the impact of the 
proposal requires a document here or just be a github issue.
+Once you have a better idea of the general consensus on the proposal, open a 
github issue using the proposal template.
+Attaching a google doc to collect feedback and collaborate with the community 
works usually well early on.
+
+*Transition:* Once you feel you received enough feedback or need to start the 
POC to have better answers to questions you get, you can move to the next step. 
Anybody is free to start POCs anytime. We just recommend getting feedback 
before you spend a significant amount of your time.
+
+### Draft/POC
+Once you feel the discussion has stabilized and you are ready to start a POC, 
open a PR to add the proposal to the table in the [Active 
Proposals](#active-proposals) section bellow. Link all relevant discussion 
documents in the body of the corresponding github issue. If using google docs, 
make sure docs are owned by an account that will maintain them publicly 
(preffer personal account over a work account). Alternativaly you can create a 
new Markdown file in the proposals folder and give more visibility to the work 
in progress (see [the example](1_BASE64_ENCODING.md) ).
+The proposal document can evolve along the course of the POC. In particular to 
add more links to findings and performance evaluations. Collaboration is 
encouraged. More validation on the POC increases the chances of success.
+
+Example: [https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/221]
+
+Make sure you consider the [requirements 
document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qGDnOyoNyPvcN4FCRhbZGAvp0SfewlWo-WVsai5IKUo/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.v4emiipkghrx)
  to ensure the success of the POC. (Note: this doc would become a markdown 
page in the repo)
+
+*Transition:* There is enough clarity on the spec for the new feature and we 
have identified the reference implementations to be implemented to be able to 
release.

Review Comment:
   I found this somewhat awkward to parse. Maybe something like this would be 
clearer:
   
   ```suggestion
   *Transition:* There is enough clarity on the spec for the new feature and we 
have identified the 2 initial reference implementations for verification.
   ```

Review Comment:
   It might not be clear what template you are referring to. I think it may be 
this one (though that is also referred to as an example later on)
   ```suggestion
   Once you have a better idea of the general consensus on the proposal, open a 
github issue using the [proposal template](proposals/1_BASE64_ENCODING.md)
   ```
