Stages asks for explicit implementer involvement at multiple checkpoints, starting from notification that the problem is being worked on, then sign-off on the rough API and specification, and finally agreement on the full specification text. These checkpoints are also useful to the broader community, helping web developers monitor the [Contributions](./IPR%20Policy.md#21-contribution) that are moving through the various stages. By explicitly signaling a [Contribution](./IPR%20Policy.md#21-contribution)'s progress, including implementer involvement, the community has a better idea of what is going on in the WHATWG.
