Are you well supported during eternal Caturday?

Three ways we openly document the governance of W3C:

#w3cAB: As part of driving openness in the #W3C Advisory Board (AB) and W3C in general, when I joined the AB in 2013, I created a stub AB wiki page, and worked with the rest of the AB to expand it over time, to the present where it has quick navigation to both our tools and projects¹.

#w3cBoD: Shortly after the W3C Board of Directors (BoD) was elected last year, I similarly created a Board wiki page, with quick navigation to meetings, minutes, and other publicly available Board resources².

#w3cAC: Prior AB member Art Barstow created an AdvisoryCommittee (AC) wiki page in 2012. I expanded it in the past year with sections on Email Lists and Meetings to help make it easier (more discoverable) for AC representatives to participate & contribute to the governance of W3C³.

These are all good steps, but not complete by any measure. Collectively we can do better.

Openness must go beyond finding & reading such resources.

As these are all on the W3C’s public wiki, which any W3C member (or invited expert) may edit, my hope is that anyone involved with W3C may help update such pages, and further improve them. Encouraging this kind of direct participation in how an organization is run goes hand-in-hand with openness & transparency.

#w3cAB: #W3C #w3cBoD: #w3cAC:
Good morning from Sophia Antipolis, France, where myself and many other #W3C Advisory Committee (AC), Advisory Board (AB), & Board of Directors (BoD) members, and members of the W3C Team are here for two days of 2023 #w3cAC meetings¹.

Lots of great presentations this morning.

@cwilso.com (@cdub@mastodon.social @cwilso) is now providing an overview of the Advisory Board² and where we are with our 2023 Priority Projects³, which are done for the most part in the open, on the wiki and GitHub.

Our (AB) practice of developing our projects in the open for both W3C Members and the broader web community to see is something that myself and Chris Wilson (@cwilso.com) have been championing, leading, and driving since our first AB terms in 2013.

We strongly believe in continuing this level of transparency (or better) in the #w3cAB, and there is more work to do on the AB to make this practice an institutional default at W3C, especially in matters of governance.

Related: both Chris and I are running for re-election for the Advisory Board, and this is one of the reasons we want your support to continue serving on the AB.

Wow @MSNBC says online social posts not "Russian based Nazi social network ok.ru" This was a dude radicalized on a Russian website for Nazis. We need to get to the root of how terrorist radicalization happens. We need to ask which Nation state pays Nazis.
Hello Twitter friends! I'd love some portfolio advice. There’s so much I wanna include in my portfolio, but I also don’t want to overwhelm people. My work experience is broad yet centers around growing brands, increasing engagement, and building an authentic community through… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I am running for election in this month’s #W3C (@w3.org @w3c@w3c.social @w3c) Advisory Board (AB) election¹ and blogged my personal statement: https://tantek.com/2023/128/b1/running-for-w3c-advisory-board-ab-election

@fantasai.inkedblade.net (@fantasai@w3c.social @fantasai) is also running for the #W3CAB, and admirably blogged her imminent affiliation change *before* the election started: https://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2023/affiliation-change/ — Congrats Elika! Your new affiliation is lucky to have you.

In addition to the two of us, @cwilso.com (@cdub@mastodon.social @cwilso) also posts on his own blog and is running for the AB.

Those are the three candidates I know have their own personal #website, and was able to verify by searching for candidates on the web, #socialMedia, etc.

Three out of the nine candidates² running for election to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Advisory Board.

As I wrote in my statement:

> “I believe governance of W3C, and advising thereof, is most effectively done by those … who directly use & create on the web using W3C standards. This direct connection to the actual work of the web and W3C is essential to prioritizing the purpose & scope of governance thereof.”

I firmly believe that direct hands-on experience with using the web, beyond reading the web or using someone else’s apps, actually writing to the web, posting on the web, creating for the web, provides better insight into the technologies & standards necessary to evolve the web, how to improve them and represent the communities working on them.

I ask for your support for the Advisory Board, and support for those who create on the web.

If any other candidates have their own #IndieWeb site (or set one up!), and especially if they blog their personal statements, I will gladly link to them as well.

Thanks for your consideration.

Running For Re-election in the W3C Advisory Board (AB) Election

Look at American mass shootings since the assualt weapons repeal (red) and since Russia invaded Crimea and made fake Nazis everywhere. Notice a pattern in the data NAFO ? I see one, or I am just brain damaged dog.

Posting my picture is not some weird flex url is my nick to point you to all my broken blogs. I had a normal convo with @ScalzisWar over my interpretation of Jefferson's letter to Smith. then I watched the weirdest claims of OSINT against NAFO...ever and that's a prize

This is who you're arguing with.
Many mark this as the beginning of the end for any chance free press had in Russia too. Compare NTV from the first Chechen War to what had become the 2nd Chechen War..and then to what it is now

Attacks on teaches, on school boards, on education as a tool of liberation is not an accident. It might be internet randos, but this is a well funded effort to help destablize democratizing forces. sexism online like we see here , in #sadpuppies, and #gamergate all connected

#NAFO please RT & mass report. This guy thinks it's acceptable to not only dox a public educator but ALSO start posting my photos like a creep calling me his "girlfriend"...
I can't lie @amduffany I bring a burning bias when it comes to Russia because of school shootings Nobody ever says the obvious "Russia is a contributing factor to radicalizing American Mass Shooter terrorists" When you spend tens of millons making Nazi, Nazi stuff happens
