 * **Request a review**: initiate a pull request to the [swift-evolution repository][swift-evolution-repo] to indicate to the core team that you would like the proposal to be reviewed. When the proposal is sufficiently detailed and clear, and addresses feedback from earlier discussions of the idea, the pull request will be accepted. The proposal will be assigned a proposal number as well as a core team member to manage the review.
 * **Address feedback**: in general, and especially [during the review period][proposal-status], be responsive to questions and feedback about the proposal.
 
+## Preparing an implementation
+
+When you are ready to request a review, a pull request with an implementation is required in addition to your proposal. Proposals that can ship as part of the [Standard Library Preview package] should be paired with a pull request against the [swift-evolution-staging repository][swift-evolution-staging]. All other proposals should be paired with an implementation pull request against the [main Swift repository](https://github.com/apple/swift).
+
+The preview package can accept new types, new protocols, and extensions to existing types and protocols that can be implemented without access to standard library internals or other non-public features. For more information about the kinds of changes that can be implemented in the preview package, see [SE-0264](https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0264-stdlib-preview-package.md).

 ## Review process
 
 The review process for a particular proposal begins when a member of
 the core team accepts a pull request of a new or updated proposal into
 the [swift-evolution repository][swift-evolution-repo]. That core team
 member becomes the *review manager* for the proposal. The proposal
