Web Environment Integrity has no standing at W3C; understanding new W3C work
If you like what the W3C is doing for the privacy, accessibility and openness of
the Web, you can become a W3C participant. Upon finding a W3C Working
Group[1] to which you think you could contribute, you can send an email to the
address of that WG&#x27;s &#x27;Staff Contact&#x27; explaining how you think you could help. If
the Chairs and the Staff Contact agree, they will ask you to join as an &#x27;Invited
Expert&#x27; (IE). This does not confer voting rights but grants you access to the
meetings, relevant Git repositories etc. You&#x27;ll need to sign a licensing agreement allowing the W3C to freely publish your contributions.<p>I say this because, at first glance, it seems like the only stakeholders with
any influence are W3C Members. The reality is that W3C is very open to
contributions from individuals, but just has had a constitutional framework that
makes things slightly more complicated for individuals, a situation which they are
deliberately improving.<p>As for myself, I&#x27;m an IE for the W3C in the Linked Data area, so whilst of course I do not speak for the W3C, I would be more than happy to answer questions here on HN about how the W3C works.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;groups&#x2F;wg&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.w3.org&#x2F;groups&#x2F;wg&#x2F;</a>
