Pas transposition process

[daniel-montalvo]

This generates a new page within the guide to go through the steps involved in the PAS transposition process. This is mostly based on previously existing materials on the public guide as well
as on the Hitchhiker's guide.

Thanks, @daniel-montalvo! I think it would be good to move or integrate the Selection Process page in the Guidebook afterwards as it currently still sits in a member-only page, but that can be done later on.

The selection process page is member-only. We'll probably want to move the process to a public page. In the meantime, it seems a good idea to clarify that the link is member-only:

	A [Selection Process](https://www.w3.org/2010/07/potential-pas.html) for handling PAS was developed and reviewed within W3C. W3C's goal is to submit specifications that help avoid market fragmentation, improve deployment, and facilitate government procurement, and at the same time are stable and widely accepted.

	The following is a quick overview of what happens and who is in charge, as well as known rough time estimates. This is based on our experience in submitting [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/news/2025-10-21/wcag22-iso/).

"W3C" is a vague entity, I suggest to link back to the selection process:

Suggested change

	* W3C agrees to submit a specification to ISO.
	* W3C agrees to submit a specification to ISO (see the [Selection Process](https://www.w3.org/2010/07/potential-pas.html), member-only link)

The links are to team-only exchanges. I suspect that the communication with the PAS Mentor are handled by the Team in any case. As above, it seems good to make that explicit:

Suggested change

	* W3C lets our PAS Mentor (currently Norbert Bensalem) know about our intent to submit the specification. He may ask us to provide rationale for the following:
	* W3C Staff lets our PAS Mentor (currently Norbert Bensalem) know about our intent to submit the specification. He may ask us to provide rationale for the following (team-only links):

The guidebook being public, "we" does not really mean much in the guidebook. At least, it does not mean "W3C Staff".

	It would be desirable automate the conversion process from our HTML format to the PDF ISO wants, to ease the editorial work around manual conversion. We are in conversation about adding more automation to the ISO part, but we've reached no conclusion as to what this would look like nor when this would be available.
