+1. Anyone can open a PR on the repository. Note that for the PR to be merged,
+   the individual must agree to the
+   [W3C Patent Policy](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/).
+2. Once a PR is opened, it will be reviewed by the Editors and other WG
+   Members.
+3. The W3C CCG is automatically notified of PRs as they are raised and
+   discussed.
+4. PRs are usually merged in 7 days if there is adequate review and consensus,
+   as determined by the Chairs and Editors.
