W3C brings together global stakeholders to develop open standards that enable a World Wide Web that connects and empowers humanity. false false 6033161 8107539 DEVELOPMENT OF WEB STANDARDS: STANDARDS DEVELOPED BY THE CONSORTIUM ARE ADOPTED VOLUNTARILY. THEY MUST THEREFORE BE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. IN ADDITION, THEY MUST MEET REAL WORLD NEEDS, INCLUDING OVERCOMING THE MANY BARRIERS FACED BY DISADVANTAGED MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. WEB STANDARDS MUST BALANCE THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA, CIVIL SOCIETY, AND TECHNOLOGISTS, FOR THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE OF SERVING ALL OF HUMANITY. FURTHER, BECAUSE THE WEB IS A GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE, THE CONSORTIUM MUST FIND SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS A RANGE OF REGIONAL AND CULTURAL REQUIREMENTS. THE CONSORTIUM CONDUCTS ITS WORK IN PUBLIC AND SEEKS WIDE REVIEW ON AN ONGOING BASIS TO HELP ENSURE THAT WIDE-RANGE PERSPECTIVES INFORM CONSENSUS DECISIONS ABOUT FUTURE WEB TECHNOLOGY. IN ADDITION, THE CONSORTIUM'S PROCESS REQUIRES THAT ALL STANDARDS UNDERGO REVIEW BY CHARTERED GROUPS WITH EXPERTISE IN ACCESSIBILITY, INTERNATIONALIZATION, PRIVACY AND SECURITY; THESE GROUPS HELP ENSURE THAT THE STANDARDS MEET THE SOCIAL NEEDS THAT MOTIVATE THE CONSORTIUM'S MISSION. THIS IS KNOWN IN THE CONSORTIUM AS "HORIZONTAL REVIEW," BECAUSE IT IS APPLIED ACROSS STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES. RESEARCH: THE CONSORTIUM, WITH PARTNERS AND COLLABORATORS, CONDUCTS RESEARCH INTO NEW TECHNOLOGIES, APPLICATIONS, AND BEST PRACTICES RELATED TO THE WEB. FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE FIELD OF WEB PRIVACY, THE CONSORTIUM'S COORDINATION OF STANDARDIZATION WORK IMPROVES SUPPORT FOR USER PRIVACY ON THE WEB AND DEVELOPS GENERAL EXPERTISE IN PRIVACY-BY-DESIGN FOR WEB STANDARDS. EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS/RESOURCES: THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE CONSORTIUM'S STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS (INCLUDING THE W3C MEMBERS), THE CONSORTIUM PRODUCES WRITTEN DELIVERABLES THAT INCLUDE STANDARDS, GUIDELINES, AND TOOLS THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR FREE AND HELP WEB DEVELOPERS WORLDWIDE IMPROVE THEIR SITES IN TERMS OF ACCESSIBILITY AND INTERNATIONALIZATION. THE CONSORTIUM'S STANDARDS HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS, INCLUDING THROUGH REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO ACCESSIBLE WEB SITES, AND WITH AN EMMY AWARD FOR THE CONSORTIUM'S STANDARDS TO MAKE VIDEO CONTENT MORE ACCESSIBLE ON THE WEB WITH TEXT CAPTIONING AND SUBTITLES. EDUCATIONAL COURSES: THE CONSORTIUM DEVELOPS FREE EDUCATIONAL COURSES ("W3Cx") TO INFORM DEVELOPERS ABOUT WEB BEST PRACTICES, INCLUDING WEB ACCESSIBILITY. 6033161 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false true false true true true true true false false true true true true true false true true false X X Virtual Inc Shelby Graham 7812460500 401 EDGEWATER PLACE 600 WAKEFIELD MA 01880 SETH DOBBS CEO/PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X 289383 0 25121 RALPH SWICK COO 40.00 0.00 240031 0 1325 PHILIPPE P LE HEGARET PROJECT MANAGEMENT 40.00 0.00 188976 0 0 GERALD OSKOBOINY Principal DevOps 40.00 0.00 150058 0 11598 IAN JACOBS Director, Payments 32.00 0.00 134170 0 13870 SIMONE ONOFRI Senior Principal 40.00 0.00 127135 0 3295 KEN TROSHINSKY Treasurer/CFO 13.00 0.00 X 71913 0 0 CHRISTINE GEFAELL Secretary/Legal 40.00 0.00 X 34590 0 0 DAVID SINGER Chairman 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS WILSON Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBIN BERJON Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GONZALO CAMARILLO Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DOMINIQUE HAZAEL-MASSIEUX Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHUNMING HU Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KOICHI MORIYAMA Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JUN MURAI Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC SIOW Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEONIE WATSON ChaiR 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HONGRU JUDY ZHU Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARK NOTTINGHAM Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRIS NEEDHAM VICE-CHAIR 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FLORIAN RIVOAL Board Directors 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1236256 55209 6 false true false European Research Consortium 2004 Route des Lucioles Sophia Antipolis Alpes-Maritimes FR 06410 drive W3C Membership 2307320 Web Consortium Asia Pacific 5F KS Risona Bldg 1-5-6 Tokyo Chiyoda-ku JA 102-0074 drive W3C Membership 740741 Virtual Inc 401 Edgewater Pl Ste 600 Wakefield MA 02109 Management Services 372797 GESMER UPDERGROVE LL 40 BROAD STREET BOSTON MA 01880 LEGAL SERVICE 100906 4 694960 694960 CONFERENCE REGISTRATION 541519 293890 293890 CONFERENCE sponsorship 541519 124399 124399 MEMBERSHIP DUES 518210 7483512 7483512 PROGRAM INCOME 518210 205738 205738 8107539 -93112 -93112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8709387 8107539 -93112 X 0 0 0 0 851339 681071 127701 42567 0 447405 357924 67111 22370 0 346831 277465 52024 17342 120169 96135 18025 6009 0 98587 98587 130446 130446 0 0 0 3586769 3228093 358676 24034 24034 53577 42862 10715 0 0 0 133508 133508 0 0 0 0 24822 24822 12187 12187 CONFERENCE 653242 653242 credit loss expense 292392 292392 SOFTWARE 108760 108760 membership management 78000 78000 52079 34853 15102 2124 7014147 6033161 890574 90412 3657555 5886855 0 396755 250000 635099 626137 0 0 0 0 86544 64526 106784 42281 79923 64503 0 0 0 0 30534 79896 4886410 6971917 599461 167679 2408021 3230070 3007482 3397749 X 1878928 3374168 200000 1878928 3574168 4886410 6971917 1695240 X false false false X 1480 694960 696440 80691 5870411 8107539 14058641 0 0 0 80691 5871891 8802499 14755081 45000 1648450 707687 2401137 292496 292496 45000 1940946 707687 2693633 12061448 0 0 0 0 80691 5871891 8802499 14755081 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 87471 38732 48739 19313 3549 15764 64503 Asia Pacific 0 4 program services Drive W3C Membership 447344 Europe 0 3 program services Drive W3C Membership 1310049 North America 0 1 program services Drive W3C Membership 189918 8 8 1947311 1947311 false false false false false false Part I, Line 3f - Method of Accounting Accrual basis GAAP X X false false false false false false false false false GERALD OSKOBOINY Principal DevOps 150058 11598 161656 PHILIPPE P LE HEGARET PROJECT MANAGEMENT 188976 188976 RALPH SWICK COO 240031 1325 241356 SETH DOBBS CEO/PRESIDENT 268883 20500 25121 314504 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 The W3C Board of Directors voted to recommend to the membership a revision of the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation.Article X Section 3 of the Bylaws [1] and clauses Ninth and Tenth of the Certificate of Incorporation [2], specify approval of any changes to the Bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation.Article III Section 11(b) of the Bylaws gives representatives the opportunity to vote in person.
