About GEO

The Internationalization (I18N) Guidelines, Education & Outreach (GEO) Working Group is part of the W3C Internationalization Activity.

Mission: Help to make the internationalization aspects of W3C technology better understood and more widely and consistently used.

For more details, see the Working Group Charter.

How to join

If you wish to become a member of the working group follow the joining instructions. Working group members are responsible for the development of the group's deliverables, so some minimum commitment is required.

If you are unable to make the required commitment to join the working group, you can still follow the work by accessing the Internationalization Web site, the public mail archive, and all public GEO documents.

You are also encouraged to join the mailing list of the Internationalization Interest Group.
