Leadership
W3C was founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web; and is led by President & CEO Seth Dobbs and a Board of Directors.
Permanent groups and work groups
A variety of groups enable the World Wide Web Consortium to pursue its mission through the creation of Web standards, guidelines, and supporting materials. Key leadership groups include:
- The Advisory Committee, composed of one representative from each W3C Member. The Advisory Committee has a number of review roles in the W3C Process, and they elect the Advisory Board and TAG.
- The Advisory Board, an advisory body elected by the Advisory Committee.
- The Technical Architecture Group (TAG), which primarily seeks to document Web Architecture principles.
The W3C work groups are chartered by W3C Members, and populated by Member representatives and Discover W3C groups
