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.
- 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.
