W3C work revolves around the standardization of Web technologies. To accomplish this work, W3C follows processes that promote the development of high-quality standards based on the consensus of the Membership, Team, and public. W3C processes promote fairness, responsiveness, and progress: all facets of the W3C mission. This document describes the processes W3C follows in pursuit of its mission.
The quoted aspects of the W3C mission don't seem to be captured by the Vision, and maybe they should be. :)
Although it does not use those words, I would disagree:
the Vision makes multiple statements in order to define "fairness", and enshrine that equity in principles. (User-first, multi-stakeholder/not dominated by ..., diversity, consensus, open participation, etc.). Just saying "be fair" isn't particularly helpful here imo. Can you suggest what's missing?
I'm not entirely sure what "responsiveness" means in this context; "the quality of reacting quickly and positively"? How would you see this added?
"Progress" is also covered in more detail, I think, starting with the basic tenet of "work together to evolve the web", but also through incubation. Maybe this needs more focus, but I worry that "move fast and break things" results from focusing too much on progress rather than the consensus needed to make that progress happen.
The introduction to the W3C Process says:
