+# Enhancement Proposal-929: Data Plane Dynamic Configuration
+
+- Issue: https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-kubernetes-gateway/issues/929
+- Status: Provisional
+
+## Summary
+
+This proposal is intended to contain the design for how to dynamically configure the data plane for the NGINX Kubernetes
+Gateway project. Similar to control plane configuration, we should be able to leverage a custom resource definition to
+define data plane configuration.
+
+## Goals
+
+Define a CRD to dynamically configure various settings for the NKG data plane. The only initial option available will be
+log format.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+ - This proposal is not defining every setting that needs to be present in the configuration.
+ - This proposal is not for any configuration related to control plane.
