@lizan checking in to see when you expect to have a PR for the first draft of the design?

[lizan]

@danehans do we want to have the docs translated into markdown into https://github.com/envoyproxy/gateway/tree/main/docs/design ?

[danehans]

Yes, design docs should be in markdown under ./docs/design. Refer to the other merged design docs as a reference model for this design doc.

[lizan]

Sure, will open a PR for discussion this week.
