The following process shall be used to promote a BCR to a BCP.
- Choose a new BCP number.
- Copy the text from the BCR to the BCP.
- Replace the text in the BCR with a link to the BCP.
- Remove any references to BCRs in the BCP, except for informative purposes.
- BCPs shall only link to other BCPs for normative purposes (but could also link to other, external resources).
- If another BCR is foundational to a BCP, then that other BCR must be promoted first.
- Red flag any known conflicts with standards.
- (Optionally) edit other BCRs to point to the new BCP rather than the old BCR.
