+## Process Overview for VC Data Model Pull Requests
+1. For now, we will focus only on merging new errata PRs into this repository,
+but encourage activity related to new features.
+2. Once a PR is opened, chairs and editors make judgement call on whether
+changes are substantive or editorial.
+<dl>
+  <dt>Editorial</dt>
+  <dd>Mark with "editorial" tag, merge into branch "v1.1"</dd>
+  <dt>Substantive</dt>
+  <dd>Mark with "substantial" tag. Bugfixes are merged into separate branch "v1.2". New Features stay around as an open PR.</dd>
+</dl>
+3. W3C CCG is notified of PRs that will be merged in the next 14 days if there
+are no objections.
+4. When it's determined a new reccomendation should go out, the W3C Verifiable
+Credentials Working Group members meet, review all the PRs that have been
+merged, and make a formal recommendation if agreement is reached.
+
+### Roadmap for 2021
+- 1 editorial update (v1.1?)
+- 1 substantive update (v1.2?)
+- VC Test Suite Refactoring
+- Start planning VC v2 Work, request a rechartering 3-6 months before end of
+  year to keep VC WG functioning.
+
+### Focus areas
+- [v1] Fixing a specific bug
+- [v1] Update examples in the spec to make them modern
+- [v2] VC `@context` needs updating, possibly with security vocab modularized
+  into smaller components instead of all included into a large context file.
