As for the Use Case Proposal process, except the Use Case Category Proposal template should be used.

### Important Notice
Merging of PRs for new Use Cases, User Stories, or Use Case Categories from sources that are not WG members and not
"sponsored" by an existing TF will require a WG Resolution. It is however acceptable for non-members to submit
issues using the provided template for the WG's consideration, subject to W3C IP rules. Generally such non-members should
at least be members of the WoT CG and have agreed to abide by the WoT CG's IP policies.
Merging of PRs for new User Stories require a formal resolution before they can be merged.
In the case of User Stories proposed by a WoT WG TF that only impact that TF's deliverable,
this only needs to be a TF resolution. In all other cases, a Working Group resolution is needed.
In addition, only WoT CG, IG, or WG members who have agreed to the W3C IP policy may submit
User Stories, Use Cases, or Use Case Categories.
