Description

(This is essentially the counterpoint to w3c/process#1094)

It's probably a bit surprising to a casual reader of the Process document that the concept of a technical plenary, or of TPAC, nowhere appears in the document. I suspect many members expect part of their annual dues to be used to fund W3C's premier annual event, so perhaps the Process document should make that expectation explicit.

Research direction

Start by reading the W3C Process document and compare its treatment of technical plenaries and TPAC with the concerns in this issue and w3c/process#1094. The work is done when the document explicitly defines a technical plenary and states the related requirements or expectations.
