Probably something like: (1) ask the current maintainers of the spec if they're ok with you doing this (2) [optional, though perhaps preferable] join the WICG, as described in https://github.com/WICG/admin/ (3) in a github repository (either yours or one in the WICG space), convert the document to something specs tend to be written in (https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/ is probably preferable, although there are other options), possibly preserving the existing history of the specification in some format (which given that it's currently a google doc, probably wouldn't be the bikeshed format). There are various tricks for doing things like setting up autopublication to gh-pages using bikeshed, e.g., as documented in https://gist.github.com/domenic/ec8b0fc8ab45f39403dd with an example you can see in a repo like https://github.com/w3ctag/design-principles ) (4) continue iterating on the specification in that repository (source code and issues) -David -- 𝄞 L.
