Ambiguity for Registries before reaching W3C Registry Status

Describe the general question related to the W3C Process or its implementation

The process is rather clear how a registry is managed once it reaches the W3C Registry status. However, it is not clear what happens until then. In the Web of Things WG, we have started a discussion about this and reached a preliminary consensus, but we are not sure about it. See the linked issue at https://github.com/w3c/wot-bindings-registry/issues/22

What happens if someone wants to submit a registry entry before the registry is finalized? Can we collect entries before becoming a "W3C Registry"? What happens if we change the registry definition after there are living entries in the registry?

All groups have entries before becoming a W3C Registry, but given that there are still no W3C Registries (see https://www.w3.org/TR/?filter-tr-name=&status%5B%5D=ry), I am not sure what will happen then.

Start by reading the W3C Process Document sections about registry status and the linked Web of Things bindings registry issue. Clarify the process for entries before a registry becomes a W3C Registry and for changing its definition after entries exist; done means the agreed policy is documented in the Process Document.
