+name: API Proposal
+about: Propose a change to the public API surface.
+title: ''
+labels: api-suggestion
+assignees: ''
+
+---
+
+## Background and Motivation
+
+<!--
+We welcome API proposals! We have a process to evaluate the value and shape of new API. There is an overview of our process [here](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/project/api-review-process.md). This template will help us gather the information we need to start the review process.
+First, please describe the purpose and value of the new API here.
+-->
+
+## Proposed API
+
+<!--
+Please provide the specific public API signature diff that you are proposing. For example:
+```diff
+namespace System.Collections.Generic
+{
+-    public class HashSet<T> : ICollection<T>, ISet<T> {
++    public class HashSet<T> : ICollection<T>, ISet<T>, IReadOnlySet<T> {
+     }
+```
+You may find the [Framework Design Guidelines](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/coding-guidelines/framework-design-guidelines-digest.md) helpful.
+-->
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+<!--
+Please provide code examples that highlight how the proposed API additions are meant to be consumed.
+This will help suggest whether the API has the right shape to be functional, performant and useable.
+You can use code blocks like this:
+``` C#
+// some lines of code here
+```
+-->
+
+## Alternative Designs
+
+<!--
+Were there other options you considered, such as alternative API shapes?
+-->
+
+## Risks
+
+<!--
+Please mention any risks that to your knowledge the API proposal might entail, such as breaking changes, performance regressions, etc.
+-->

+### Description
+
+<!--
+* Please share a clear and concise description of the problem.
+* Include minimal steps to reproduce the problem if possible. E.g.: the smallest possible code snippet; or a small repo to clone, with steps to run it.
+* What behavior are you seeing, and what behavior would you expect?
+  -->
+
+### Configuration
+
+<!--
+* Which version of .NET is the code running on?
+* What OS and version, and what distro if applicable?
+* What is the architecture (x64, x86, ARM, ARM64)?
+* Do you know whether it is specific to that configuration?
+  -->
+
+### Regression?
+
+<!--
+* Did this work in a previous build or release of .NET Core, or from .NET Framework? If you can try a previous release or build to find out, that can help us narrow down the problem. If you don't know, that's OK.
+  -->
+
+### Other information
+
+<!--
+* Please include any relevant stack traces or error messages. If possible please include text as text rather than images (so it shows up in searches).
+* If you have an idea where the problem might lie, let us know that here. Please include any pointers to code, relevant changes, or related issues you know of.
+* Do you know of any workarounds?
