+
+## Summary
+Declare CMake 3.15 as the lowest supported CMake version.
+
+
+## Motivation
+CMake is one of the main external tool we call from Conan, transparent integration and
+reliability should be a priority. It is important to declare a minimum supported
+version so we can run all the tests and be confident that the user will get the
+expected results and no regressions will be introduced.
+
+
+## Proposal
+CMake 3.15 was [released on July 2019](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/tag/v3.15.0). Significant additions are:
+
+ * (CMake 3.14) _Visual Studio 16 2019_ generator.
+ * Variable `CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE` to add a file to be included after the `project()`
+   call. This is used by Conan toolchains.
+ * Variable `CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` to select the runtime library library used 
+   when targeting MSVC ABI.

+
+
+## Comments
+This proposal is approved considering that the situation will change from the moment of approval to
+when Conan 2.0 is released. At that moment, we will evaluate user's feedback to check if it's
+necessary to add some workarounds or opt-out behavior for users chained to previous versions.
