The I2S serves to ensure cross-browser coordination, enforce quality and stability, and promote openness within the web community. Before an I2S can be sent, features must meet stringent internal requirements, including a stable specification, comprehensive web-platform tests, signals of interoperability from other vendors, and proven user/developer demand. The document details the specific content and format required for the I2S email sent to the blink-dev mailing list, emphasizing transparency regarding risks and providing ample evidence of the feature's readiness and adherence to Blink's core principles.
