## 1\. Publication location {#1-publication-location}

All decisions of the TYPO3 Association Board are published as reStructured Text documents in the
[Decision directory](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/guide-policy:t3a-board-decisions) of the TYPO3 Association Policy
directory. The decision directory is structured by year, and each decision is published as a separate document.

Document naming and location *MUST* follow the pattern `Documentation/Association/Board/Decisions/YYYY/MM-DD-<DECISION TITLE>.rst`.

## 2\. Publication workflow {#2-publication-workflow}

Decision papers are published in the documentation repository as soon as the decision has been accepted or rejected by the Board. Templates for decision documents are available at `Documentation/Association/Board/Decisions/YYYY/.template.rst`.

The decision paper must be added to the repository via a pull request, which must be approved by at least one other Board member. This is verified by the pull request approval workflow of the repository.

## 3\. Decision implementation {#3-decision-implementation}

1.  Decisions that result in a policy change should be implemented in the same pull request as the decision paper, if possible.
1.  An exception to the above are changes to the Bylaws, which require a vote by the General Assembly. In this case, the Bylaws change must be documented by a link to the General Assembly protocol in which the bylaws change was approved.
