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.

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).
