no

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has announced plans to launch two new programs in May designed to make it easy for developers, users and other stakeholders to discuss and develop Web technologies.

The community and business groups will be designed to be open forums for developing specifications, holding discussions, developing test suites and building communities around innovation.

The aim is to improve participation opportunities which in the past have been limited to people who are part of a W3C member organisation or an invited expert.

W3C standards likely to be adopted by ISO/IEC

no

The International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recently announced that they are likely to formally acknowledge a number of Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C) frameworks as international standards.

The W3C has now been accepted as an "ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS Submitter" in recognition of national bodies increasingly referring to W3C's widely deployed standards. Given the W3C’s independence and support for the ‘open web’, the move will reduce the need for multiple international web standards, making it easier for web developers to implement consistent and accessible online media.
