W3C and NETmundial

On 24 December 2014, the Inaugural Coordination Council of the NETmundial Initiative was announced.

The NMI is being set up to implement the Internet Governance NETmundial Principles and, according to their recent declaration, will start with a phase of community discussions on their exact charter and roles.

Jean-François Abramatic, former W3C Chairman and currently W3C Fellow seconded by Inria was selected (by the NMI Organizing Partners, CGI.br - Brazilian Internet Steering Committee, ICANN and the WEF - World Economic Forum) to be part of the Council.

The W3C Team, with advice from the W3C Advisory Board, has prepared a W3C and NETmundial Initiative FAQ to give our community some context on this selection.
