New W3C Process to go into effect on August 18

All,

The recent Advisory Committee review of the W3C Process 2025 was 
successful and all comments received during the review where addressed [1].

At this time, the W3C Team expect to deploy the new Process document [2] 
on August 18, including the guidebook and various tools (pubrules, 
bikeshed, respec) [3]. Automatic publications on that day may be 
affected a bit due to the timing of merging and deploying the various 
pull requests.

As a reminder, I presented the new Process at the last AC meeting, 
including how it affects Group Chairs [4, 5].

Thank you,

Philippe
