Changes to the process document tend to fall into a few classes, and how the W3C handles these varies. Simple editorial changes may require little review, but more substantial changes will require a more substantial review and discussions by the W3C community. Please read the material below, and get involved as explained. | ||

## The W3C Process Community Group | ||
The W3C runs a [Process Community Group](https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/), which is an open group created to manage discussions on developing the [W3C Process Document](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/). Some suggestions for changes to the [W3C Process Document](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/) will need to be made within the [Process Community Group](https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/), please see information below as to whether you need to take your suggestions to the group or can just raise a `pull request` or `issue`. | ||

Another way to ensure the [Process Community Group](https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/) addressed your issue is to check back on the [issues page](/../../issues) page and ask whether it has been addressed. It is more effective to join the group, but you have this option if you need it. | ||

Getting something in front of both the [Advisory Board](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/#AB) or [Advisory Committee](https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/#AC) can be tricky. If your organisation is a W3C member please let your Advisory Committee member know; they will then be able to email the Advisory Committee or bring the issue up at an Advisory Committee meeting. To reach the [Advisory Board](https://www.w3.org/2002/ab/) you can [raise an issue](/../../issues) on this repo (at least two AB members monitor this repo) or send an email to [email protected]. | ||

After consensus has been reached you may either raise a `pull request` which include the changes agreed by these committees or wait for the Editor to make the required changes.
