World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

wc3 W3C has these long-term goals for creating one World Wide Web.

Web for Everyone The social value of the Web is that it enables human communication, commerce, and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability. W3C continues to expand its real investment in initiatives that directly support the expansion of Web technologies and their benefits into the developing world. Work in areas like Web accessibility, internationalization, device independence, and mobile Web are particularly important as we work toward a Web for Everyone. In addition, through W3C Offices and other efforts to broaden participation, W3C pledges to make the Web available to more people around the world. The document Worldwide Participation in the World Wide Web Consortium summarizes efforts to increase global participation in W3C work and ensure that W3C results provide benefit to an even larger community.
