 # Footnotes
 
 [^core]: Unlike in some other Open Source projects, the Rust Project's "core team" does not refer to a group that decides the technical direction of the Project. As explained in more detail elsewhere in the RFC, the Rust Project distributes decision-making to many different teams who have responsibility for their specific purview. For example, the compiler team is in charge of the Rust compiler, the language team is in charge of language evolution, etc. This is part of why this RFC discontinues use of the term "core team".
+
 [^authority]: The term 'authority' here refers to the powers and responsibilities the Council has to ensure the success of the Rust Project. This RFC lays out the limits of these powers, so that the Council will delegate the authority it has to teams responsible for the concerns of the Project. These concerns may include - but are not limited to - product vision, day-to-day procedures, engineering decisions, mentoring, and marketing.
+
 [^teams]: Throughout this document, "teams" includes subteams, working groups, project groups, initiatives, and all other forms of official collaboration structures within the Project. "Subteams" includes all forms of collaboration structures that report up through a team.
+
 [^under-multiple-teams]: Subteams or individuals that fall under multiple top-level teams should not get disproportionate representation by having multiple representatives speaking for them on the Council. Whenever a "diamond" structure like this exists anywhere in the organization, the teams involved in that structure should strive to avoid ambiguity or diffusion of responsibility, and ensure people and teams know what paths they should use to raise issues and provide feedback.
+
 [^bootstrapping-new-teams]: The Council consists only of the representatives provided to it by top-level teams, and cannot appoint new ad hoc members to itself. However, if the Council identifies a gap in the project, it can create a new top-level team. In particular, the Council can bootstrap the creation of a team to address a problem for which the Project doesn't currently have coordinated/organized expertise and for which the Council doesn't know the right solution structure to charter a team solving it. In that case, the Council could bring together a team whose purview is to explore the solution-space for that problem, determine the right solution, and to return to the Council with a proposal and charter. That team would then provide a representative to the Council, who can work with the Council on aspects of that problem and solution.
+
 [^number-of-representatives]: This also effectively constrains the number of Council representatives to the same range. Note that this constraint is independently important.
+
 [^representative-selection]: Being a Council representative is ultimately a position of service to the respective team and to the Project as a whole. While the authors of this RFC hope that the position is fulfilling and engaging to whomever fills it, we also hope that it is not viewed as a position of status to vie for.
+
 [^council-roles]: The Council is not required to assign such roles exclusively to Council representatives; the Council may appoint any willing Project member. Such roles do not constitute membership in the Council for purposes such as decision-making.
