Process Overview for VC Data Model Pull Requests

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.
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.
