We need a process to evaluate and accept new badge and pathway proposals. I recommend we use an RFC-like process for new additions. Every new badge or pathway proposal will be submitted as a PR to add a new file to the @nodejs/open-badges repo by filling out a template markdown file with the required information. Discussion will happen on the PR and when consensus is reached by the Open Badges Team, the PR will be merged

Outstanding questions:

What information do we need in the RFC template?
Do we require a final design before merging the PR? If no, what is the design process?
Does the larger Community Committee want final say on badge approval?
What is the process for modifying badge designs / criteria?
Is there a better format / process for proposing new Badges?

I welcome anyone to take a stab at a first draft and opening a PR for further discussion.
