Opening ECP Pull Request

Introduction
As this point in the ECP process, you should have a fully formed ECP written out as shown in the ECP Style Guide section. 
An ECP can only be brought forward as previously announced and seconded in a weekly Etho Protocol Council Meeting. Two Etho Protocol Council Members need to support the ECP in order to reach this stage.
Opening First ECP Pull Request
Forking Etho Protocol ECP Repository
Fork the Etho Protocol Github ECP repo here: https://github.com/Ether1Project/ECPs​
By forking the Etho Protocol ECP repo, you provide another copy of the data therein. Even better if you always keep a local copy of your ECP repo using the Github desktop client. #DecentralizeEverything 💪
 
Fork the ECP repo
Upload Properly Formatted ECP markdown file
Once you've forked the repo, you will upload your markdown formatted ECP file and input the summary of the ECP file into the body of the pull request.
Navigate to the front page of the newly forked ECP repo (in our case here it'll be located on the ether1cloud account). In your case, this will be on your own individual account.
