This is the W3C Process Document, which details, among other things, the 
path to advance a Technical Report to a Recommendation.
https://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/tr.html

My understanding is that two independent and interoperable 
implementations are normally sought in the Call for Implementations 
stage, but it isn’t an absolute requirement. Fantasai or someone else 
from W3C can certainly provide a more complete explanation of how 
important the implementation report tends to be. Here, for example, is 
the WOFF2 implementation report:
