 ## Adding a proposal
 
-Proposals can be added by opening a PR and adding a new file into the
-[proposals] directory. The file should use the [proposal
-template][template], but renamed to a suggestive title. **This format
-is meant to be lightweight:** Proposals are generally not expected to
-be a lot of work to produce.

-[proposals]: /proposals
+Proposals can be added by opening an issue on the [compiler-team
+repository][ct]. There is an issue template for meeting proposals that
+gives directions. The basic idea is that you prepare your proposal in
+a hackmd/gist/hackmd/document based on [this template][template] and then
+link to that in the issue, along with a few other details. **This
+format is meant to be lightweight:** Proposals are generally not
+expected to be a lot of work to produce. Accepted proposals will be
+added to the [proposals] directory (and linked to from the actual
+minutes).
