Task Forces
The Mobile and Web Interest Group divides it's work into task forces. Most work falls into these task forces although other ad-hoc work is also worked on. The group is currently working on charters for two new task forces for work in 2015! Please check back here to find out more about these in the future. To follow the development of these groups, please see the mailing list.
