Re: Member submission guide (Re: Agenda: W3C Process CG Telecon 23 July 2025)

Thanks Philippe. As a first pass, I think that's quite reasonable, and 
I'd support landing that in the short run, so that we have something 
ready to go as the new Process gets rolled out.

However, I think we should also do a second pass soon after, for a few 
reasons:

* some of the language seems quite outdated to me, and it would be 
better to bring it up to speed with current practices

* I think it would be useful to distinguish which bits are remainders of 
the (new) Process, and which bits are additional 
requirements/expectations (now) imposed by the Team on its own 
authority. That way, when someone wants to make this document evolve, 
it's easier to tell apart what can be changed as long as the Team agrees 
from what is anchored by the Process.

* Given that this is now Guide text, and not Process text, I think there 
are quite a few places where we'd be better off rephrasing away from 
RFC2119 language.

I'll be adding suggestions to that effect in the Google Docs. They're 
not meant to be blocking, so if you want to land the text as is, that's 
fine by me. At the same time, if you think some of these suggestions are 
uncontroversial improvements, feel free to take them in right now. As 
for the rest, I'd expect to send them as a PR against the first version, 
once landed.
