The mission of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is to
lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols
that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. The W3C Process
Document describes the constituent organizations of the W3C and the processes
related to the responsibilities and functions they exercise to enable W3C to
accomplish its mission. This document does not describe the internal workings
of the Team or W3C's public communication mechanisms.
For more information about the W3C mission and the history of W3C, please
refer to "About W3C" [PUB15].
This is the 8 February 2001 version of the W3C Process Document. It replaces

incorporates changes based on Last Call and Proposed Process Document reviews
by the Advisory Committee, as well as comments from the Team and the W3C
Advisory Board. This document was produced by the W3C Advisory Board.

Additional Member-only information about the Process Document (issues lists,
Member-only drafts, changes to Member-only drafts, etc.) is available from the
