The new organization preserves the core process and mission of the Web Consortium to shepherd the Web, by developing open web standards as a single global organization with contributions from W3C Members, staff, and the international community. We are now seeking our next leader at this exciting time in our evolution.

W3C began 2023 by forming a new public-interest incorporated not-for-profit organization. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is working with leading international executive search firm Perrett Laver to find qualified candidates from around the world to be our CEO. Advisory Board participants use their best judgment to find the best solutions for the Web, not just for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user. The elected Members of the Advisory Board participate as individual contributors and not representatives of their organizations. For several years, the AB has conducted its work in a public wiki. The Advisory Board hears appeals of Member Submission requests that are rejected for reasons unrelated to Web architecture.

The Advisory Board manages the evolution of the Process Document. The Advisory Board also serves the W3C Members by tracking issues raised between Advisory Committee meetings, soliciting Member comments on such issues, and proposing actions to resolve these issues. Please, read the statements of the nominees.Ĭreated in March 1998, the Advisory Board provides ongoing guidance to the W3C Team on issues of strategy, management, legal matters, process, and conflict resolution. The W3C Advisory Committee has nominated nine individuals, and is invited today to vote until 1 June 2023 for six seats in the W3C Advisory Board (AB) election.
