General information

Each W3C mailing list has its own policies regarding who may post to the list. Those subscribed to each list are generally able to post directly to the list without delay; those who are not may be subject to manual moderation (at least the first time they post.)

First-time posters to our lists with public archives will need to give us permission to publish their message in our public archives using our archive approval system.

Each mailing list has a specific purpose; please try to avoid widely cross-posting to multiple lists if possible.

Conference announcements are generally not welcome on W3C lists; if you feel a specific conference is of very high interest to the subscribers of a given list, you should write a custom message to that list, containing a very short summary with a pointer to more information.

Posting of Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE), or spam is strictly forbidden.

Posts to our lists are generally not removed or edited, except in very rare circumstances. See our Archive Editing Policy for more information.
