Description

The Process Document includes provisions that govern its evolution but does not make it easy to experiment with temporary alternatives to operational process. In order to increase W3C's agility and ability to experiment, I propose that the Process Document include provisions that enable the AB to authorize process experiments.

I have discussed this with the AB and have drafted a proposal for an experimentation process for discussion within the Process CG.
