W3C AC Meetings

About W3C AC Meetings

Advisory Committee (AC) Meetings are Members-only meetings that focus on strategic issues facing the Consortium and future directions envisioned by the Membership and Staff. W3C organizes two per year to inform W3C Members of the financial status of W3C and make some Consortium decisions.

Each meeting has a detailed meeting page with more specific information than this page offers; please check AC Meetings pages (including archives) for authoritative information.

W3C meetings operate under the W3C Code of Conduct.

Participation

Participation in the Advisory Committee Meeting is open to the Advisory Committee Representative from each Member Organization. There are no registration fees for AC Meetings.

The Board of Directors, the Technical Architecture Group (TAG), Advisory Board (AB), group Chairs, W3C Chapters staff, and a W3C Invited Expert designated observer are also invited and encouraged to attend.

With respect to the Process Document limitation of one representative per Member, the Chair usually allows Members to send two representatives when the second has been designated as an alternate.

Choice of meeting location

Given the global nature of the Consortium and its Members, W3C chooses meeting locations based on a weighted, rotating schedule. The weighting is based on Membership levels in different regions. Rotation spreads the burden of travel. Co-location of events may play a role in choosing the location of a meeting.
