Draft Note: Vision for W3C

The Advisory Board has published a first Draft Note of Vision for W3C. This document is an articulation of W3C’s mission, values, purpose, and principle.

The goal of this document is to:

• Help the world understand what W3C is, what it does, and why it matters.
• Be opinionated enough to provide a helpful framework when making decisions, particularly on controversial issues.
• Be grounded enough in the shared values of the W3C community to represent the emergent consensus of most of our participants.
• Be timeless enough that it does not need frequent revision.

The intent is for this document to eventually become a W3C Statement.
