Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
Chairs, AB, and TAG,

I am pleased to announce the approval of the:

   World Wide Web Consortium Process Document
   1 September 2015
   http://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/
   Charles McCathie Nevile (Yandex), Editor

This document was developed between the W3C Advisory Board and the
Revising W3C Process Community Group. It was reviewed twice by the W3C
Membership;
see below for information about the most recent review comments.

A Process transition FAQ answers questions pertinent to W3C groups,
implementers, reviewers, and others.
   https://www.w3.org/wiki/ProcessTransition2015

Please send comments on the new Process or the FAQ to
<public-w3process@w3.org>.

Groups may publish under the new Process beginning 1 September 2015;
infrastructure changes are underway and being tested. This will supersede
the current version of the W3C Process approved in 2014, which means that
all groups using Process 2014 will automatically move to Process 2015. We
continue the two-year transition period from Process 2005 that was
announced last year.

Congratulations to the community for their work on this update to the W3C
Process!

This announcement follows section 12 ("Process Evolution") of the 2014
Process:

For Jeff Jaffe, CEO;
Coralie Mercier, Acting Head of W3C Marketing & Communications
