The W3C standards approval process includes up to 7 different steps.
W3C標(biāo)準(zhǔn)包含了7個(gè)不同的審批步驟。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Specification Approval Steps
W3C規(guī)格的審批步驟
When W3C is publishing a new Web standard, the specification has worked its way from an idea through a lot of refining processes including the following:
當(dāng)W3C發(fā)布一個(gè)全新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)時(shí)，必須通過(guò)下面的確認(rèn)進(jìn)程：

W3C receives a Submission
W3C 受到一個(gè)提交申請(qǐng)
W3C publishes a Note
W3C 發(fā)布一個(gè)公告
W3C creates a Working Group
W3C 創(chuàng)建一個(gè)工作組
W3C publishes a Working Draft
W3C 發(fā)布一個(gè)工作草案
W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation
W3C 發(fā)布一個(gè)候選的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
W3C publishes a Proposed Recommendation
W3C 發(fā)布一個(gè)被提議的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
W3C publishes a Recommendation
W3C 正式發(fā)布一個(gè)推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Submissions
W3C 提請(qǐng)
Any W3C member can submit a suggestion for a Web standard to the consortium. Most W3C Recommendations started as a submission to the consortium.
所有的W3C成員都可以向聯(lián)盟提交他們推薦的網(wǎng)絡(luò)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。大多數(shù)W3C推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都始于最初提交的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

If a submission is within the W3C work area (or charter), the W3C will decide if they should start working to refine the suggestion.
如果是在W3C工作域（或部門(mén)）內(nèi)部提交的，那么W3C將決定是否應(yīng)該開(kāi)始對(duì)其提交的內(nèi)容標(biāo)準(zhǔn)進(jìn)行限定。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Notes
W3C 公告
Often a submission to the W3C becomes a Note. A Note is a description of a suggestion refined as a public document.
通常情況下，向W3C提請(qǐng)推薦的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)都會(huì)被公告出來(lái)。他會(huì)以公共文檔的形式描述這個(gè)提議。

A Note is made available by the W3C for discussion only. Publication of a Note indicates no endorsement by W3C. The content of a Note is edited by the member that submitted the Note, and not by the W3C. A Note may be updated, replaced, or rendered obsolete at any time. The publication of a Note does not indicate that the W3C has started any work related to the Note.
該公告將會(huì)作為W3C的討論對(duì)象。發(fā)布公告意味著并未得到W3C的簽署確認(rèn)。公告內(nèi)容由提交公告的成員編輯成章，而不是W3C。一份公告可以在任何時(shí)間更新、替換、呈遞、廢除。公告的發(fā)布并不意味著W3C已經(jīng)對(duì)其公告開(kāi)始任何工作了。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Working Groups
W3C工作組
When a submission is acknowledged by the W3C, a Working Group consisting of members and other interested parties is formed.
當(dāng)一份提交的公告被W3C接納時(shí)，那么就會(huì)組成包括各個(gè)成員和其他相關(guān)的部門(mén)在內(nèi)的工作組。

The Working Group will normally define a time schedule and issue a Working Draft of the proposed standard, describing the work in progress.
工作組將會(huì)確定一個(gè)時(shí)間表，并討論所提請(qǐng)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的相關(guān)議題草案，以描述工作進(jìn)程。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Working Drafts
W3C 工作草案
W3C Working Drafts are normally posted on the W3C Web site, along with an invitation for public comments.
W3C 工作草案通常在W3C的網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布，通常包括發(fā)布注釋。

A Working Draft indicates work in progress, but should not be used as reference material. The content may be updated, replaced, or rendered obsolete at any time.
工作草案暗示了工作進(jìn)程，但是，不能用作參考資料。該內(nèi)容可以在任何時(shí)間內(nèi)更新、替代、呈遞、廢除。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Candidate Recommendations
W3C 候選推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
Some specifications are more complex than others, and might require more input, more time, and more testing from members and software vendors. Sometimes these specifications are published as Candidate Recommendations.
許多規(guī)范較為復(fù)雜，因此，它可能需要更多的信息、時(shí)間和來(lái)自各成員方以及軟件銷售商的更多測(cè)試。有時(shí)，這些規(guī)范將作為候選標(biāo)準(zhǔn)被發(fā)布。

A Candidate Recommendation is also a "work in progress" and should not be used as reference material. The document may be updated, obsolete, and replaced at any time.
候選標(biāo)準(zhǔn)也是一個(gè)“工作進(jìn)程”，其同樣不能作為參考資料。該文檔可以在任何時(shí)間內(nèi)更新、替代、呈遞、廢除。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Proposed Recommendations
W3C 被提議的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
A Proposed Recommendation represents the final stage of the work in the Working Group.
被提議的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)代表了工作組所有工作的尾聲。

A Proposed Recommendation is still a "work in progress" and may still be updated, obsolete, and replaced. But even if it does not imply any official endorsement by the W3C, most often a Proposed Recommendation is close to the final Recommendation both in content and in time.
被提議的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)同樣屬于“工作進(jìn)程”，因此，也可以被更新、廢除或替代。然而，即使它沒(méi)有得到任何關(guān)于W3C的官方認(rèn)可，大多數(shù)情況下，被提議的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)與最終的推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)無(wú)論是在內(nèi)容上還是時(shí)間上都是非常相近的。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

W3C Recommendations
W3C 推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
W3C Recommendations have been reviewed by the W3C members, and have the W3C's director's stamp of approval.
W3C 推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)將被W3C成員重新回顧，并且擁有W3C主管的確認(rèn)印章。

A W3C Recommendation is considered a stable document and may be used as reference material.
W3C 推薦標(biāo)準(zhǔn)被認(rèn)為是確認(rèn)的文檔，它可以用于參考資料。
