 ## Background on the OpenTelemetry OTEP process
 
-Our OTEP process borrows from the [Rust OTEP](https://github.com/rust-lang/OTEPs) and [Kubernetes Enhancement Proposal](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements) processes, the former also being [very influential](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/0001-kubernetes-enhancement-proposal-process.md#prior-art) on the latter; as well as the [OpenTracing OTEP](https://github.com/opentracing/specification/tree/master/OTEP) process. Massive kudos and thanks to the respective authors and communities for providing excellent prior art 💖
