# RFC-0000: Purpose
**Status:** Proposed
**Phase:** The Bedrock Phase
## Abstract
This RFC establishes the purpose of the RFC process within Open Engineer and the framework by which all subsequent RFCs are evaluated.
## Motivation
Before any individual RFC is accepted, the project must agree on what an RFC is for and what it must accomplish.
## Proposal
The purpose of an RFC is to propose, justify, and specify a change to the standard. Every RFC must pass the editorial gate defined in `reference/editorial-principles.md`, which includes the four-question framework (Section 3).
## Scope
This RFC defines the meta-framework for all subsequent RFCs. It is the root of the RFC tree.
