Today is the day where a new @w3c process comes into action - the well-titled “Feb 1 2018 Process Document” w3.org/2018/Process-20180201…
This document sets the rules and expectations around how W3C develops its standards and interacts with its stakeholders.
The main motivations behind the adoption of this new process were to avoid out-of-date and unmaintained specifications and/or to have active versions published outside @w3c, and thus eliminate confusion among implementers and reviewers, as well as #interoperability problems.
This document guides the development of well thought-out, implementable, and relevant specs. Process 2020 represents some of the biggest changes in many years, while ensuring that @w3c values remain: wide review, implementation experience, consensus, and royalty-free licensing.
W3C Process and Patent Policy 2020 revisions have been submitted to a vote by the AC! If you work for a Member company, please strongly encourage them to vote yes!

The group is also working on supporting docs, such as WebRTC-Stats (telemetry for #WebRTC apps), specs for audio output and media recording and the acquisition of media from #devices, screens, #DOM elements, etc. All the work happens in the open on #GitHubgithub.com/search?q=org%3Aw3…
The group is developing requirements on "WebRTC-Next Version Use Cases" that require new #APIs and protocols, thus paving the way for WebRTC's future: w3.org/TR/webrtc-nv-use-case…
#WebRTC is used to power video-conferences and collaboration systems on all platforms. The usage of real-time communications has skyrocketed in the fast few months (#COVID_19) with millions of new users, so it is critical that #WebRTC works across all browsers and networks.
I'm thrilled by the diversity, breadth and depth of the talk proposals submitted to the virtual @W3C workshop on Web & ML. Can't wait to announce the impressive speaker lineup. To meet the demand, we made room for couple of more. Submit your proposal ASAP: w3.org/2020/06/machine-learn…
