+Stakeholders are those affected by normative changes to the Solid Specification or Solid Roadmap. There are two types of Stakeholders; [Solid Users](#solid-users) and [Solid Implementers](#solid-implementers). It is important to consider them both when proposing changes, but adhering to the W3C [priority of constituencies](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#priority-of-constituencies) is encouraged. A Stakeholder may be both a user and an implementer.
 
 Stakeholders who have opted to identify themselves publicly are listed at [stakeholders.md](stakeholders.md). Anyone may decide to identify themselves publicly as a Solid Stakeholder, but it is not mandatory. Identified stakeholders may be consulted for feedback as part of the editorial process.

 Anyone may propose improvements to the Solid Specification, Solid Roadmap, or Supporting Documentation. Here are some examples of different ways to contribute:
 
 - Submit a pull request or issue on the [Solid Specification repository](https://github.com/solid/solid-spec) in GitHub
-- Write an email to the Solid Authorization Panel mailing list about a change you'd like to see in Web Access Control
-- Make a suggestion on the W3C Community Group mailing list to form a new Solid Panel, or join an existing Solid Panel
+- Make a suggestion to the Solid Authorization Panel chat room about a change you'd like to see in Web Access Control
+- Make a suggestion on the Solid W3C Community Group mailing list to form a new Solid Panel, or join an existing Solid Panel
 - Propose an item for the W3C Solid Community Group call
 
 Proposals for substantive changes to the Solid Specification, Solid Roadmap, or Supporting Documentation go through an editorial review process. A change is considered substantive when it alters the normative text of the Solid Specification or the Solid Roadmap.
 
 Any proposal must be realistic and reasonable to implement, preferably with example implementations, and demonstrable support from Implementers.
 
+Any proposal should also be accompanied with a reasonable explanation of the need for the proposed change. For example:
+
+- Removing something that failed to be adopted by implementers for legitimate reasons
+- Proposing a simpler design that is able to address the same use case
+- Adding a new capability that provides one or more identifiable benefits
+- A change that resolves one or more identified issues in real-world use
+
 A draft proposal often involves community discussion before being formally presented for review. After these discussions have occurred and a draft proposal has reached a sufficient level of maturity, it should be presented as a candidate proposal, asking Stakeholders and Panels if there are any major objections.
 
 When there are objections, notify the Solid Panels and Stakeholders about the final proposal with an invitation to vote. If there are options, detail them along with the implications of the options. The final proposal needs to be open for one week to give others a chance to vote. To show your support for a proposal write +1. To show your disapproval for a proposal write -1 along with a detailed reason for the disapproval and a suggestion for a preferred alternative. To abstain type 0 when you have no opinion. If you do not vote by the end of the week it will be assumed that you abstain. At the end of the week anyone may publish an overview of the vote results per Solid Panel and Stakeholder.
