The W3C Communications Team is your first point of contact for information on Web standards and the technologies under development at the W3C. We are available to answer your questions and connect you with W3C's technical experts.

Send all requests to w3t-pr@w3.org.
Note that we use an auto-responder for spam filtering; the first time you write to this address we request that you reply to the auto-responder so that we receive your mail.

Interview Requests for Tim Berners-Lee

Due to the volume of requests, the W3C Communications Team reviews all requests for interviews with Tim Berners-Lee once a week, usually on Mondays. Thus, response times for these requests may be up to a week. Due to the number of requests, we cannot guarantee a reply to every one.

Mr. Berners-Lee then selects the interviews he is most interested in pursuing, and which his schedule will permit. In your request, include your name, your publication, the purpose and format of the interview, the language in which it will be published, your deadline, and your contact information.

We also suggest that you read the Tim Berners-Lee FAQ, which may answer some of your questions.

Interview Requests for W3C Staff

W3C Staff and Working Group Chairs are among the world's experts in Web technologies and their impacts. We will help put you in touch with these experts to answer questions on Web technologies, Web standards, and the way W3C does its work.

The W3C Communications Team will try to respond to your requests within two business days. In some cases, we may require more time in order to identify and arrange interviews with staff in other time zones. Due to the number of requests, we cannot guarantee a reply to every one.

Photo Requests

W3C has photos of its staff available to accompany appropriate articles. Should you wish to use a photo of a member of our staff, including Tim Berners-Lee, please complete our photo request form. You do not need an account to complete the form, but an email address is required.
