How have ISOC and W3C worked together?
The Internet Society and the W3C have coordinated and worked together in the past, their communities overlap significantly, and they are driven by similar underlying principles. The two organizations have worked together at the OECD Ministerial meeting in 2008 and subsequent work on the OECD Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC). They have also consulted and coordinated in for a such as the ITU World Telecommunications Policy Forum and the Multistakeholder Advisory Group of the Internet Governance Forum. In addition, some W3C regional Offices and ISOC chapters are managed by the same host institution or have cooperated in organizing events.
