Attention Interest Group participants:
The Mobile Access Interest Group is closed now. This page is no longer maintained.
This is the overview page for the W3C Mobile Access Interest Group. This group is renewed and open to the public. This group is a part of the Device Independence Activity, as the Mobile Access Activity is merged with TV& the Web Activity into the Device Independence Activity.
The aim of this IG is to gather technical requirements from the mobile points of view and review various specifications for mobile devices, and summarize them as a input to the Device Independence Working Group.
For the discussion on Mobile Access, we have a mailing list for the Interest Group: www-mobile@w3.org (archive). There is also an archived member only mailing list at w3c-mobile-ig@w3.org (archive). This mailing list is used for the past Mobile Access IG communication.

The chair of this Interest Group is Mark Baker. Although the Interest Group is open to the public, some existing contents of this Group (mailing list archives, Web pages,...) are confidential to W3C members and invited experts. Anyone wishing to join this Group should contact the Chair and Team contact. Each request must include name, title and position statement.
Note: The primary forum for the Mobile Access IG is www-mobile@w3.org mailing list, as the IG has been opened to the public. w3c-mobile-ig@w3.org will be a permanent record of the IG activity.
There are many existing efforts and specifications concerning with Mobile Web Access.
The past Mobile Access IG was created in June 1998, as a part of the Mobile Access Activity which was merged into the Device Independence Activity in February 2001.
