...or Alex Russell will be mean to you.

What happens during a TAG review?

  • One TAG member will own the issue
  • We will likely invite someone to a TAG call or to join us at a f2f
  • You will get live feedback from us in the github issue
  • If appropriate we will issue a more formal feedback document

Election! 🗳️ 

We have an election coming up.

 

Three seats are up for election

We need W3C member organisations to put candidates forward

We need W3C Advisory Committee members to vote

Diversity

The TAG has a diversity problem

The TAG should reflect the web technical community

We can best address this issue by nominating more diverse candidates

Please consider this when putting forward candidates for our upcoming elections

We're on github: https://github.com/w3ctag
