# Summary
[summary]: #summary
This RFC proposes to run an experimental goal program during the second half of 2024 with nikomatsakis as owner/organizer. This program is a first step towards an ongoing Rust roadmap. The proposed outcomes for 2024 are (1) select an initial slate of goals using an experimental process; (2) track progress over the year; (3) drawing on the lessons from that, propose a durable process in the form of an RFC to be accepted by the leadership council.

* **ASAP (April):** Have a ~2 month period for selecting the initial slate of goals. Goals will be sourced from Rust teams and the broader community. They will cover the highest priority work to be completed in the second half of 2024.
* **June:** Teams will approve the final slate of goals, making them 'official', and we will author an RFC proposing a refined process.
* **Remainder of the year:** Regular updates on goal progress will be posted
* **October:** Presuming all goes well, the process for 2025 H1 begins.

There are three specific outputs from this process:
* A **goal slate** for the second half of 2024, which will include
* A **goal slate for the second half (H2) of 2024**, which will include
* a set of goals, each with an owner and with approval from their associated teams
* a high-level write-up of why this particular set of goals was chosen and what impact we expect for Rust
* **Regular reporting** on the progress towards these goals over the course of the year
* An **RFC with a finalized process** that we can use going forward
* A **goal slate for the first half (H1) of 2025**, which will include
* a set of goals, each with an owner and with approval from their associated teams
* a high-level write-up of why this particular set of goals was chosen and what impact we expect for Rust
* (probably) a goal to **author an RFC with a finalized process** that we can use going forward
