Regionalization of W3C Offices

6 May 2002: As W3C increases its presence worldwide through its Office program, some of the Offices have been transformed into regional Offices. This means that they are not bound to national borders any more and that they act as regional outreach centers for countries that share common culture, history, or language. As a first step, the former W3C German Office is now the W3C Office in Germany and Austria, the former W3C UK Office is now the W3C Office in the UK and Ireland, and the former W3C Dutch Office is now the W3C Office in the Benelux (i.e., Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg). Read more about the W3C Offices Program. (News archive)
