W3C Advisory Committee Elects Technical Architecture Group

The W3C Advisory Committee has elected the following people to fill four seats on the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) starting 1 February 2026: Matthew Atkinson, Christian Liebel, Jeffrey Yasskin and Sen Yu. The number of nominees being equal to the number of available seats, the nominees were thereby elected. They join continuing TAG participants, Hadley Beeman, Marcos Cáceres, Sarven Capadisli, Xiaocheng Hu and Lola Odelola. Tim Berners-Lee is an emeritus member of the TAG and Yves Lafon continues as staff contact. 

Many thanks to Daniel Appelquist, who stepped down from the TAG in June 2025, to Tristan Nitot, who stepped down in September 2025, and to the departing participants Dapeng (Max) Liu and Martin Thomson, whose terms end at the end of January 2026, for their contributions to the TAG. 

The TAG is a special group within the W3C, chartered under the W3C Process Document, with stewardship of the Web architecture. The mission of the TAG is to build consensus around principles of Web architecture and to interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to resolve issues involving general Web architecture brought to the TAG, and to help coordinate cross-technology architecture developments inside and outside W3C. The Members of the TAG participate as individual contributors, not as representatives of their organizations. TAG participants use their best judgment to find the best solutions for the Web, not just for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user. Learn more about the TAG.
