-## What the process is
+## The process
 
 In short, to get a major feature added to Ember, one must first get the
 RFC merged into the RFC repo as a markdown file. At that point the RFC
 is 'active' and may be implemented with the goal of eventual inclusion
 into Ember.
 
 * Fork the RFC repo http://github.com/emberjs/rfcs

 'my-feature' is descriptive. don't assign an RFC number yet).
 * Fill in the RFC. Put care into the details: **RFCs that do not
 present convincing motivation, demonstrate understanding of the
 impact of the design, or are disingenuous about the drawbacks or
 alternatives tend to be poorly-received**.
+* Fill in the relevant core teams. Use the below table to map from projects to 
+teams.
 * Submit a pull request. As a pull request the RFC will receive design
 feedback from the larger community, and the author should be prepared
 to revise it in response.
+* Find a champion on the relevant core team. The champion is responsible for 
+shepherding the RFC through the RFC process and representing it in core team 
+meetings.
+* Update the pull request to add the number of the PR to the filename and 
+add a link to the PR in the header of the RFC.
 * Build consensus and integrate feedback. RFCs that have broad support
 are much more likely to make progress than those that don't receive any
 comments.

+further guidance.

+Each core team is responsible for reviewing open RFCs. If an RFC 
+requires work from their team, ensuring that the RFC reflects that.
