Link to group's decision to request transition

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2021Jun/0013.html

Note: The decision does not mention Payment Method Identifiers by name, which is a bug. The group's
expectation for years has been to advance these documents together; see, for example:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-payments-wg/2017Jul/0020.html

Because PMI has not changed in a long time (other than to remove "basic card" as a standardized
payment method identifier), the staff contact neglected to mention it in the call for consensus to
advance to PR.
