+<h2 id="cr-integration">12. Integration of Extensions during CR</h2>
+
+<p>Extensions to any of the Working Groups deliverables may proceed as
+separate extension specifications. At times, such extension
+specifications may advance more rapidly than the spec they extend (for
+example, extensions to the HTML spec itself may advance more
+rapidly). In some such cases, it may be desirable to integrate the
+extension back into the core specification.</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>1. Publish a First Public Working Draft of the extension spec</dt>
+<dd>To be eligible for integration, an extension specification must
+be created in the first place, and must reach at least First Public
+Working Draft maturity level.</dd>
+
+<dt>2. Satisfy CR exit criteria of the base spec</dt>
+<dd>If an extension specification is to be nominated for integration
+into a base specification, it must first meet the CR exit criteria for
+the base specification. That is, every feature in the extension spec
+must demonstrate the level of interoperability that would be required
+for a feature in the base spec.</dd>
+
+<dt>3. Nominate by the deadline</dt>
+<dd>On entry to CR of any Working Groupspecification, the Chairs
+will identify a deadline prior to the end of CR for integration of
+extensions. A Working Group member may enter a nomination for
+integration at any time prior to the deadline. A nomination for
+integration must include:
+<ol>
+<li>The name and URL of the extension specification to be integrated.</li>
+<li>The name and URL of the base specification it is to be integrated into.</li>
+<li>Rationale for integration.</li>
+<li>Evidence showing that the extension specification satisfies the CR
+exit criteria for the base specification.</li>
+<li>Instructions for textual integration for the editors of the base
+spec. These need not be detailed, but editors of the base
+specification may ask for more detail if required.</li>
+</ol>
+</dt>
+
+<dt>4. Call for Consensus</dt>
+<dd>If a Working Group member enters a nomination by the deadline,
+and it contains all of the above required elements, the chairs will
+put out a Call for Consensus. If the Call for Consensus passes, then
+editors of the base specification will integrate the extension
+according to instructions. If objections are raised, objectors should
+cite rationale, and are encouraged to identify ways in which their
+objection may be addressed. If there are objections which cite
+rationale and are not resolved in a satisfactory manner, the Call for
+Consensus fails, and the extension will not be integrated. It may
+still be proposed for a future version using the usual issue
+process.</dd>
+
+<dt>5. Integration</dt>
+<dd>As with any other working group decision, editors will apply
+integration decisions within a week.</dd>
