Description

The proposed introduction says:

W3C processes promote fairness, responsiveness, and progress: all facets of the W3C mission. This document describes the processes W3C follows in pursuit of its mission.

'mission' is not linked, but the W3C Mission page exists. However, it does not contain the words 'fair' or 'fairness', and the only instance of a word rooted in 'response' is in 'voice responsive systems'. 'Progress' is absent as well.

I'd suggest dropping this text; otherwise, it might put undue weight on some factors in people's understanding of the mission.
