Process Document Management
The Advisory Board manages the evolution of the
W3C Process Document
. The Process Document governs W3C's operations and describes the processes W3C follows in pursuit of its mission. It is a public document divided into sections that cover the
W3C organization
W3C Activities
and
groups
, how
consensus
governs W3C work, the
W3C Recommendation Track
, and the
W3C Submission Process
. People may send comments on the Process Document to either process-issues@w3.org (
Member-only archive
) or public-process-comments@w3.org (
Public archive
). The AB is currently managing Process revisions through the W3C Process Community Group and its
