How to get the process document:

  1) All the pages of the new site have a search box at the top. Type  
"process" and it's the first search result.
      That requires typing the same number of letters and following  
one link, but does require pushing a button.

  2) About W3C:
      http://www.w3.org/Consortium/

     There's a section called "Facts about W3C" which lists process  
among other things. If you expand, you
      get a direct link to the process document.

  3) Facts about W3C. It's there in the body and in the reference docs  
on the right side.
     http://www.w3.org/Consortium/facts

  4) Site index (just added; pat policy was already there)

There are other places as well (e.g., from the Member site in process/ 
patent policy contexts).

The process document is not something that one uses every day, and  
therefore we moved the link from the home page to one page away  
("About W3C").
