Country/region-specific mailing list operations

It boosts communications across the country and increase domestic dialogue. This will result in increased national and/or regional W3C activities, and will also help to promote W3C in the region. That tie gives birth to "Ambassador" among the member community. The ambassador will communicate to members in their own countries what is happening globally, and will communicate to the global community what is discussed in the region. This cycle of information is one of the benefits of being a W3C member.

W3C Member meetup (maiden name: W3C Roadshow)

What is W3C? Member meetups are an opportunity to let not only AC Reps know about the W3C, but also to let everyone in the organization know about how web technology is changing your life. The meetup announcement will be emailed to everyone in the region who has a W3C account. Consecutive interpretation will be provided for non-English speaking countries.

The member meetup is also a place where people can get to know other members in the area, network, collaborate on matters of particular importance at W3C, and learn who they can contact on the team or in the governance body when there is frustration or confusion.

Invite all W3C account holders from non-English speaking member organizations to share the latest W3C status in their local language and invite well-known speaker(s) of the region to give presentations including TPAC report to better understand, learn and utilize W3C and its activities, and to build and strengthen networks among regional members.

Meetups should not be a one-time event. It should be held on a regular basis in order to have an ongoing dialogue with our members.

Member retention

How are No Zero and at-risk connected? What should we do about each?

At-risk: There are many factors at-risk. Exercises to retain members. All of these events can lead to at-risk. That is why we want to stay awake and watch our members. There is no single template for retention. It must be handled on a case-by-case basis. Retention is a team effort.

No Zero project is to contact members who have joined W3C but have not joined any groups and encourage them to join a group. However, some members find value in "being a W3C member," so we may not contact them. Such members are in the category of "Let sleeping dogs lie".

To make it known member meetings

Still under adjustment for;

• Create a web page for local member meeting schedules and reports.

Reports from GEM

Still under adjustment for;

• How can we, who are neither team contact nor chair, know when a new member has become involved in any WG?
• Can the system extract which members joined which WG/IG quarterly?
