The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international public-interest non-profit organization where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. Founded by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and led by President & CEO Seth Dobbs and a Board of Directors, W3C's mission is to lead the Web to its full potential.
Using Amaya you can create Web pages and upload them onto a server. Authors can create a document from scratch, they can browse the web and find the information they need, copy and paste it to their pages, and create links to other Web sites. All this is done in a straightforward and simple manner, and actions are performed in a single consistent environment. Editing and browsing functions are integrated seamlessly in a single tool.
In addition to all the activities at TPAC, last week the W3C Consortium Members elected seven people to serve on our Board of Directors for the next two years.
Congratulations to all - I look forward to working with everyone in the next term. And congratulations to Léonie Watson for being named Chair of the Board - I know you will serve the community well.

Again, I’ll do an amazing disservice to all of the stellar speakers at #mEnabling24 for Day Two, but here’s my attempt at highlights:
Seth Dobbs is doing amazing things with W3.org to make the web work for everyone! #accessibility#a11yPreety Kumar on the potential cultural barriers to #disability#inclusion: “there isn’t a broad sentiment that accessibility is a human right … maybe there is an idea that accessibility is incompatible with efficiency?” - (yikes. We have attitude work to do!)
David Sloan : “we often go straight to the technical elements of accessibility and we skip the foundational elements and core knowledge about access itself.” (Yes! When you understand why you should build in access, the rest just makes sense!)
Anil Lewis : “accessibility is not a burden. When done correctly, it adds to innovation and opportunity… People think it will be more difficult and more expensive than it actually is!”
And my personal fave, from the incomparable Mary Fernandez, MBA : “People think it’s too hard to change the world, so we still try to change the people.” (Ouch. Think about that!)
More to come!
🇮🇹 Slides of Threat Modeling for Decentralized Identities @ W3C

- What is Threat Modeling and the Shostack Process
- Brief Introduction to Digital Credentials
- A first round of LINDDUN on Digital Credentials.
Thanks to Sebastiano Michele Militti for the presentation and to Denis "Jaromil" Roio for on-site support

On the W3C blog: "W3C 30th anniversary & impressions on my first TPAC" by Seth Dobbs
"I returned from my first W3C TPAC week energized and thoroughly impressed by the drive and the strong sense of community...
I wish to come back to the incredible spirit of community that I felt throughout the week but one moment stood out. Our event was disrupted on day 2 by a two-hour power outage that affected the entire block. Rather than being upset, one of several paths were followed - some people in our group helped ensure others were safe and accounted for (in particular those in wheelchairs), some found spaces to continue working, some took it as a salutary break...
I had a lot of conversations with members via zoom and in person, in the hallways, during breaks and meals. While some concerns about our future and the future of the web were voiced, there is a clear expression of optimism across our community, and genuine commitment to making the web work for everyone."

WCAG2ICT is Guidance on Applying Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).
WCAG2ICT describes how WCAG principles, guidelines, and success criteria can be applied to non-web ICT, specifically to documents and software.
Today we published the updated the WCAG2ICT W3C Group Note that includes guidance for WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 success criteria and glossary terms.
WCAG2ICT has been a key resource for including WCAG in ICT accessibility regulation, legislation, and standards around the world. This update facilitates further adoption of WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 in non-web contexts.
