<h2 id="mission">Mission of W3C International Liaisons</h2>
<p>W3C is determined to improve W3C's liaisons with international organizations
in the areas of policy and standardization and to reinforce W3C's commitment to
developing one Web for all. The W3C staff provides the leadership to coordinate
and to empower W3C Offices. The staff acts as a catalyst and enabler for both
the W3C management team and the Offices, with whom it shares best practices and
resources.</p>
<p>International Relations focuses on spreading W3C's messages and technologies
beyond the Consortium's usual geographical and Web community frontiers. We
pursue the vision and plan outlined in the white paper <cite><a
href="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/W3C-Global-Focus.html">Worldwide Participation
in the World Wide Web Consortium</a> </cite> with the goal of making it easier
for new stakeholders to discover and participate in W3C's work and values.</p>
<h2 id="contact">Contacting W3C to Establish a Liaison</h2>
<p>The best way to reach W3C about liaisons and partnerships is to send email
to <a href="mailto:team-liaisons@w3.org">team-liaisons@w3.org</a> which will
reach <a href="/People/danield/">Daniel Dardailler</a>, <a
href="/People/all#rigo">Rigo Wenning</a>, <a href="/People/all#tlr">Thomas
Roessler</a> and the other W3C staff members active in the area. </p>
<p>We have additional information about <a
href="http://www.w3.org/participate/eu-research">participation in W3C by
EU-funded projects</a>.</p>
<p>For relationships between W3C and government driven organizations like ISO,
ITU, EU normalization (ETSI, CEN), UN efforts like IGF/WSISs, national bodies
(ANSI, AFNOR, etc.), and for political liaison activities with other Internet
organizations like IETF, ICANN, ISOC, etc., please cc <a
href="/People/danield/">Daniel Dardailler</a> in any case.</p>
<p>If you prefer private communication, please contact <a
href="/People/danield/">Daniel Dardailler</a>.</p>
<h2 id="about">About the Liaison Table</h2>
<p>Each entry in the following table of partnerships (active or not)
includes:</p>
<ul class="show_items">
<li>the name of the organization, linked to its homepage. In addition, formal
agreements can be listed here.</li>
<li>the W3C activities or technologies affected by the liaison</li>
<li>one or several contact names within W3C</li>
<li>one or several liaison contact names</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information about a particular liaison, please refer to the contact
page for the listed individual(s).</p>
<h2 id="considerations">Considerations When Establishing a Liaison</h2>
<p>W3C finds its liaisons fall into two categories:</p>
<ul class="show_items">
<li><a href="#simple">simple liaisons</a></li>
<li><a href="#formal">formal agreements for joint work</a>, involving a
Memorandum of Understanding (<acronym>MoU</acronym>), signed on paper and
reviewed by W3C legal, and the Advisory Committee, per process
requirement.</li>
</ul>
<p>We list both types of liaisons in the table above. Per the <a
href="/2005/10/Process-20051014/liaisons">W3C ProcessDocument</a>, all
liaisons, of any kind, must be coordinated by the Team due to requirements for
public communication, IPR or confidentiality policies. Mutual <a
href="/Member/">membership</a> agreements are also possible.</p>
<p>W3C may choose not to pursue a liaison with an organization that has
selective or arbitrary membership policies that serve only to benefit
pre-existing or dominant members.</p>
<p>To request any liaison, please send a brief email to the <a
href="#contact">liaison contact.</a></p>
<h3 id="simple">Simple liaisons</h3>
<p>In general, the goal of a simple liaison is for both parties to gain a
better understanding of their respective activities and look for opportunities
to work together. For example, W3C appreciates understanding how other
organizations use W3C technology, whether they require extensions, the proper
way to manage those extensions, how to bring extensions back into W3C, and so
on. Other organizations may find a simple liaison valuable for soliciting W3C
input on a Web-related question.</p>
<p>Most often, W3C establishes simple liaisons with non-profit organizations,
other standards bodies, or any other entity that may wish to build consensus
around an emerging Web technology. Simple liaisons are active as soon as both
partie agree to make the information public in this page. </p>
<h3 id="formal">Formal Agreements for Joint Work</h3>
<p>In some cases, W3C is asked to establish a formal liaison that has a
contractual framework, either because there are joint deliverables, or an
agreed share of technical responsibilities with coordination, with
considerations for confidentiality, shared press coverage, or IPR.</p>
<p>While W3C supports all liaisons with other groups, the organization and
development of these formal liaisons requires time and resources, and the
agreement of the W3C membership at large, so. W3C's decision to pursue a
liaison with a Partner is ultimately based on the perceived costs and benefits.
</p>
<p>For Formal Liaison Creation and Modification, please see the <a

<h2 id="dejure">W3C and De Jure Standards</h2>
<p>This section describes some of W3C's relationships with <em>de jure</em>
bodies such as ISO, in addition to the direct technical activity liaisons
mentioned above.</p>
<h3>W3C is an "ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS" Submitter</h3>
<p>At the end of October 2010, W3C was approved as a JTC 1 Recognized PAS
Submitter for an overall scope defined as "any stable core Web technologies
produced by W3C that are also in scope of JTC 1". The PAS process is standard
transposition procedure whereby organizations accredited as valid PAS
Submitters can send their specifications directly for country voting, to become
ISO/IEC standards. See the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/04/pasfaq.html">W3C
PAS Submission FAQ</a>.</p>
<h3>W3C Approved RS Originator Organization (ARO) Status for ISO/JTC1</h3>
<p>In January 2007, W3C became an <a
href="http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2122/327993/755080/5860393/Approved_RS_Originator_Organizations_AROs_.html?nodeid=7500268&amp;vernum=0">Approved
RS Originator Organization (ARO) for ISO/JTC1</a>. This means that ISO/JTC1
standards may refer to W3C Recommendations "as-is." That process is described
in the <a
href="http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/fetch/2000/2122/327993/755080/1054033/2541871/JTC001-N-9871.pdf?nodeid=8499119&amp;vernum=0">Letter
Ballot on the JTC 1 Standing Document on Normative References</a></p>
<!--
<p>In July 2010, W3C submitted a <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/03/w3c-pas-submission.html">ISO/IEC JTC 1 PAS Submitter Application</a>.</p>
