What is the role of a W3C AC Representative?
Each W3C Member organization has one Advisory Committee Representative (AC Rep). This person should know enough about the Member organization’s structure to forward detailed technical reviews to the proper person. It is more important to be involved in your organization’s strategy than to have detailed technical knowledge. The AC Rep receives official notices from W3C. Acting as a gatekeeper, the AC Rep responds to, or delegates response to W3C Calls for Review, Calls for Participation and Calls for Implementations, as well as other W3C announcements. AC Reps come to semi-annual Advisory Committee meetings and rub shoulders with other AC Reps. The AC Rep appoints participants in W3C Working Groups.
