Tantek Çelik<p>The Vision for W3C has been officially published as a ratified W3C Statement: <a class="" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/STMT-w3c-vision-20250729/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/TR/2025/STMT-w3c-vision-20250729/</a><br><br>As one of the editors, along with Chris Wilson (<a class="" href="https://cwilso.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@cwilso.com</a> <a class="" href="https://w3c.social/@c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@c@w3c.social</a>), I’m both proud of this multi-year W3C Advisory Board (AB) effort, and grateful to everyone who contributed and gave feedback that helped improve the document.<br><br>Writing down and openly publishing our collective values and principles is an important step forward for W3C. We now have a shared reference to both guide our priorities and cite to help resolve differences in opinion (rather than having to appeal to authority).<br><br>The AB (<a class="" href="https://w3.org/wiki/AB" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@w3.org/wiki/AB</a> <a class="" href="https://w3c.social/@ab" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ab@w3c.social</a>) has prioritized work on the Vision project for many years (<a class="" href="https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/Vision" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/wiki/AB/Vision</a>), and personally, co-leading this project during my time on the AB has been inspiring, challenging, and a source of many lessons learned. Lots more to share on all that. For now, happy to take a moment to celebrate this milestone.<br><br><a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/w3cVision" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">w3cVision</span></a> <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/VisionForW3C" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">VisionForW3C</span></a> <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/WorldWideWeb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">WorldWideWeb</span></a> <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/W3C" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">W3C</span></a> (<a class="" href="https://w3.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@w3.org</a> <a class="" href="https://w3c.social/@w3c" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@w3c@w3c.social</a>)<br><a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/openWeb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">openWeb</span></a> <a class="" href="https://indieweb.social/tags/webStandards" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span class="p-category">webStandards</span></a><br><br>Previously:<br>* <a class="" href="https://tantek.com/2025/100/t1/vision-for-w3c-please-vote" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://tantek.com/2025/100/t1/vision-for-w3c-please-vote</a><br><br>More posts:<br>* <a class="" href="https://www.w3.org/news/2025/vision-for-w3c-is-a-w3c-statement/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/news/2025/vision-for-w3c-is-a-w3c-statement/</a><br>* <a class="" href="https://www.w3.org/blog/2025/vision-for-w3c-a-manifesto-for-our-operations-and-decision-making/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.w3.org/blog/2025/vision-for-w3c-a-manifesto-for-our-operations-and-decision-making/</a></p>
