     - Note: Issues that have not had the `External` label applied have not yet been approved for implementation. This means, if you propose a solution to an issue without the `External` label (which you are allowed to do) it is possible that the issue will be fixed internally. If the `External` label has not yet been applied, Expensify has the right to use your proposal to fix said issue, without providing compensation for your solution. This process covers the very rare instance where we need or want to fix an issue internally.
     - Note: Before submitting a proposal on an issue, be sure to read any other existing proposals. Any new proposal should be substantively different from existing proposals.
 5. Pause at this step until someone from the Contributor-Plus team and / or someone from Expensify provides feedback on your proposal (do not create a pull request yet).
