- Working Group Note
-
From World Wide Web Consortium Process Document (2003-06-18)
A Working Group Note is published by a chartered Working Group to indicate
that work has ended on a particular topic. A Working Group
MAY publish a Working Group Note with or without its
prior publication as a Working Draft. W3C
MAY also
publish "Interest Group Notes" and "Coordination Group Notes" for similar
publications by those types of
groups. Interest Groups
and Coordination Groups do not create technical reports that
advance toward Recommendation.
Note: To avoid confusion in the developer community and
the media about which documents represent the output of chartered groups and
which documents are input to W3C Activities (
Member
Submissions and
Team Submissions), W3C plans
to stop using the unqualified maturity level "Note."
