Nearby: How to make or withdraw a Member Submission request | Member Submission process
We, W3C Member(s) Names of Submitting W3C Member(s), hereby submit to the Consortium the following specification, comprising the following document(s) attached hereto:
which collectively are referred to as "the Submission". We request the Submission be known as the (nickname) Submission.
(Explain for the public the purpose of the Submission)
(All Submitters (W3C Members) and other Authors of the Submitted documents MUST provide the required information regarding copyright, trademark, patent licensing, liability and warranty terms. We provide REQUIRED terms for copyright of all Submissions; we provide additional REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED terms for Submissions that may be used as contribution towards a W3C Activity. Failure to provide the REQUIRED terms and the character of other terms will affect the likelihood of a Submission being acknowledged and/or used as a contribution within a W3C Activity.)
If the Submission is meant to be incorporated into W3C work, then add:
(The last two blocks of text are intended to satisfy the Process Document requirement to answer this question: "What mechanisms are there to make changes to the specification being submitted? This includes, but is not limited to, stating where change control will reside if the request is acknowledged.")
If the Submission is meant to be incorporated into W3C work, then add:
[Submitter/Author] agrees that the trade and service marks that are associated with and identify this specific Submission (enumerate the marks) will be governed by the W3C Trademark and Servicemark License.
(The W3C Team MAY acknowledge the Submission if the answer to the licensing commitment is either affirmative or negative, but SHALL NOT acknowledge the Submission if one or more Submitters (or others who provide patent licenses associated with the submitted document) do not supply the required statement. For more information about disclosure requirements, see section 3.3 of the W3C Patent Policy.)
(This section is used to answer this question from the Process Document: "What proprietary technology is required to implement the areas addressed by the request, and what terms are associated with its use? Again, many answers are possible, but the specific answer will affect the W3C Team's decision." This entire section may be omitted if no proprietary technology is associated with the use of this technology. If there is proprietary technology that is being disclosed, then be sure that the relationship between the disclosure and any licensing commitments is crystal clear.)
We suggest that the Consortium (hold a workshop to discuss the Submission | start an activity according to the included draft activity proposal, etc.)
To help with this work, we expect to be able to provide (no resources | one non-resident document editor | financial assistance, etc.) to the Consortium.
As an example of showing that other (non-Submitting) organizations support the work, see the OWL 1.1 Submission Request.
