To achieve our vision to make the web work, for everyone, W3C upholds the following core values:

The web is for all humanity.
The web is designed for the good of its users.
The web must be safe for its users.
There is one interoperable world-wide web.

#aboutW3C

W3C has helped shape the Web for nearly 30 years. While the Web is a single platform, it is in practice powered by thousands of technologies, most of which W3C has had a hand in developing. So many features of the Web are designed at W3C that we understand that some people may be upset by certain choices. The Web is agreement does not mean that everyone agrees on everything. We do worry when loud voices reduce our work to what they see as failures, as though it canceled everything else.
