SUMMARY:How We Fund the Web Ecosystem

DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/413b7511-d5e7-491a-9666-0535
 c844d52c/\n\nThe Web has billions of users\, and most users have many\, ma
 ny dependencies on the web. The ecosystem around the web\, which includes 
 things like web engines\, is both incredibly complex and fundamentally cri
 tical.\n\nBut the model that has driven\, funded\, and sustained this ecos
 ystem isn’t ideal. There is no guarantee that it will be sustainable ove
 r the long term\, but beyond that\, it already falls quite short of fundin
 g everything that needs to be done. There is just too much. Many things go
  long ignored simply because prioritization is hard\, and funds are ultima
 tely limited. This includes everything from new features in popular langua
 ges like CSS and JS up to entire languages like MathML and SVG\, which hav
 e largely been the work of (often unpaid) individual contributors.\n\nIn t
 his session\, we intend to have a community discussion of alternative mode
 ls for funding the web ecosystem\, from collective funding pools to change
 s in open source project policies to changes in tax law\, and beyond.\n\n*
 *Goal(s):**\nTo help further discussions toward better solutions\n\nAgenda
 \n\n**Materials:**\n- [Session proposal on GitHub](https://github.com/w3c/
