+The Version field specifies the current version of the GLEP. The Version
+consists of a major version, optionally followed by a minor version (if
+non-zero). Every GLEP starts at version 1 which is successively incremented
+as changes are merged to the GLEP.
+
+The major version number should be incremented (and minor reset to zero)
+whenever the meaning of the GLEP changes. The minor version number should
+be incremented for changes that do not affect the basic meaning (e.g.
+clarifications, reference implementation updates). Editorial changes should
+be merged without increasing the version.
+
 The Author header lists the names, and optionally the email addresses
 of all the authors/owners of the GLEP.  Anybody who submits changes to
 the GLEP should be added to this field.The format of the Author header
