This week W3C is holding our annual Advisory Committee meeting in Hiroshima, Japan. Our Members come together to hear about the work and goals of the Consortium.

Organizations can join to drive the development of web standards and work with technology leaders in a transparent, open, vendor-neutral forum.

Access to a Web for All has been a fundamental concern and goal of the World Wide Web Consortium since the beginning, and is a natural requirement for Web-based applications, given that they can be accessed by people around the world.

If you internationalize, you design or develop your content, application, specification, and so on, in a way that ensures it will work well for, or can be easily adapted for, users from any culture, region, or language. Learn more at:

Did you know W3C has many open source tools and validators?

Check out our checkers, validators, other tools. You can even find help or contribute.

We are an open forum where diverse voices from around the world and industries come together, incubate and build consensus for global standards for web technologies.

We are socially responsible and committed to ensure that the web is for everyone; we greatly emphasize accessibility, internationalization, privacy, and security.

We are committed to developing open and royalty-free standards with high focus on interoperability and collective empowerment.

text from Richard Ishida's "Cambodian Khmer orthography notes" in Khmur script "មាត្រា ១ មនុស្សទាំងអស់ កើតមកមានសេរីភាព និងសមភាព ក្នុងផ្នែកសេចក្ដីថ្លៃថ្នូរនិងសិទ្ធិ។ មនុស្ស មានវិចារណញ្ញាណនិងសតិសម្បជញ្ញៈជាប់ពីកំណើត ហើយគប្បីប្រព្រឹត្ដចំពោះគ្នាទៅវិញទៅមក ក្នុង ស្មារតីភាតរភាពជាបងប្អូន។" translation to English:" Article 1 All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. People are innate intellect and conscience and should treat one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Our Advisory Board has published a Draft Note for W3C's Vision

"Technology is not neutral; new technologies enable new actions and new possibilities, and we must take responsibility to address the actual impact of our work...

W3C’s Vision for the World Wide Web

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."
