About W3C Technical Reports

As described in the Process Document, W3C publishes several types of technical reports:

Notes

A Note is a dated, public record of an idea, comment, or document. A Note does not represent commitment by W3C to pursue work related to the Note.

Working Drafts

A Working Draft represents work in progress and a commitment by W3C to pursue work in this area. A Working Draft does not imply consensus by a group or W3C.

Candidate Recommendations

A Candidate Recommendation is work that has received significant review from its immediate technical community. It is an explicit call to those outside of the related Working Groups or the W3C itself for implementation and technical feedback.

Proposed Recommendations

A Proposed Recommendation is work that (1) represents consensus within the group that produced it and (2) has been proposed by the Director to the Advisory Committee for review.

Recommendations

A Recommendation is work that represents consensus within W3C and has the Director's stamp of approval. W3C considers that the ideas or technology specified by a Recommendation are appropriate for widespread deployment and promote W3C's mission.

Specifications developed within W3C must be formally approved by the Membership. Consensus is reached after a specification has proceeded through the review stages of Working Draft, Proposed Recommendation, and Recommendation.

Note that if your browser support them, access keys have been defined for the various sections of this page: R for the Recommendations, P for the Proposed Recommendations, C for the Candidate Recommendations, W for the Working Drafts, N for the Notes and A for this section, About W3C Publications.
