-I'd prefer to see this info in the top-level README.md but wouldn't block merging it to a new file like suggested. If that's decided, it should be properly linked in the top-level README.md.

| ## Procedure to Be Followed |

I would move this section up, following the justification, and keep it abstract. Meaning: no check marks and add three steps/subprocesses before current step 1: GitHub release, Eclipse Foundation Release (incl. EDWG approval), submission to ISO. It must be clear that this process is to be followed for every "official modification" of the spec.
| 4. Submit the PAS package to ISO/IEC JTC via the Eclipse Foundation. (Done :white_check_mark:) | ||
| 5. Respond to any comments from ISO/IEC review and, if necessary, update the specification for publication. | ||

Could be merged with "current status" section.
| - **Industry alignment:** A PAS submission accelerates recognition of the specification as a stable, industry-ready baseline while allowing the community to retain control over the evolution of the specification. | ||
| - **Faster route to adoption:** The PAS route is designed to enable faster publication and uptake than a full international standard, which is important for technologies that require timely adoption. | ||
