How do we establish that a CG Specification has traction?

[ianbjacobs]

Some ideas:

• Early traction
  • Announcements of intent to prototype, implement, ship
  • References from W3C Rec-track deliverables
  • References by other SDOs
  • Mentions by regulators
  • Expressions of interest from relevant stakeholders beyond the CG
  • Pilots
  • There are multiple contributors to a specification
• Significant traction
  • Automated detection of shipping features
  • One implementation and significant adoption
  • Two or more implementations or announcements of intent
