The mission of the International Relations team is to improve W3C's liaisons with international organizations in the areas of politics and standardization and to reinforce W3C's commitment to developing one Web for everyone. The team provides the leadership to coordinate and to empower W3C Offices. The team acts as a catalyst and enabler for both the W3C management team and the Offices, with whom it shares best practices and resources.
International Relations focuses on spreading W3C's messages and technologies beyond the Consortium's usual geographical and Web community frontiers. We pursue the vision and plan outlined in the white paper Worldwide Participation in the World Wide Web Consortium with the goal of making it easier for new stakeholders to discover and participate in W3C's work and values.
