Advisory Committee session
Advisory Committee Meetings are Member-only meetings that
focus on strategic issues facing the Consortium and future
directions envisioned by the Membership and W3C staff.
Participation in the Advisory Committee Meeting is open to the
Advisory Committee Representative from each Member
Organization.
With respect to the
Process Document limitation of one representative per Member,
the Chair has decided to allow Members to send two representatives
when the second has been designated as an alternate.
See instructions for appointing an alternate if your
organization has not yet done so.
The Board of Directors, the Technical Architecture Group (TAG),
Advisory Board (AB), Chairs, and Chapters staff are invited and
encouraged to attend.
