               <p>The primary goal of this group is to develop W3C Recommendations that enable multimodal interaction with various devices including desktop PCs, mobile phones and less traditional platforms such as cars and intelligent home environments. For rapid adoption on a global scale, it should be possible to add simple multimodal capabilities to existing markup languages in a way that is backwards compatible with widely deployed devices, and which builds upon widespread familiarity with existing Web technologies. The standards should be scalable to enable richer capabilities for subsequent generations of multimodal devices.</p>

               <p>The mission of the XSL Working Group is to define and maintain a practical style and transformation language capable of supporting the transformation and presentation of, and interaction with, structured information (e.g., XML documents) for use on servers and clients. The language is designed to build transformations in support of browsing, printing, interactive editing, and transcoding of one XML vocabulary into another XML vocabulary. To enhance accessibility, XSL is able to present information both visually and non-visually. XSL is not intended to replace CSS, but will provide functionality beyond that defined by CSS, for example, element re-ordering.</p>

            <p>The mission of the WebID Incubator Group, is to further advance for full standardization the WebID protocol, an authentication protocol that uses the SSL/TLS layer for user identification by tying the client to a profile document on the Web through placing a URI in a certificate. It is a first step to a fully standard-based browser authentication experience, but not limited to browser based authentication: peer to peer server authentication will work just as well. The Incubator Group intends to pursue work that has been evolving since 2008, grow the number of interested parties from the Social Web, security and browser communities, and integrate their feedback.</p>

   <p>W3C has created Community and Business Groups to meet the needs of a growing community of Web stakeholders. Community Groups enable anyone to socialize their ideas for the Web at the W3C for possible future standardization. Business Groups provide companies anywhere in the world with access to the expertise and community needed to develop open Web technology. New W3C Working Groups can then build mature Web standards on top of best of the experimental work, and businesses and other organizations can make the most out of W3C&#x2019;s Open Web Platform in their domain of interest.</p>

        <dl>
          <dt><a title="List of Working Groups" href="#Working">Working Groups</a></dt>

          <dd>Working Groups typically produce deliverables (e.g.,
          standards track technical reports, software, test suites,
          and reviews of the deliverables of other groups).</dd>

          <dt><a title="List of Interest Groups" href="#Interest">Interest Groups</a></dt>

          <dd>The primary goal of an Interest Group is to bring
          together people who wish to evaluate potential Web
          technologies and policies. An Interest Group is a forum
          for the exchange of ideas.</dd>

          <dt><a title="List of Coordination Groups" href="#Coordination">Coordination Groups</a></dt>

          <dd>A Coordination Group manages dependencies and
          facilitates communication with other groups, within or
          outside of W3C.</dd>

          <dt><a title="List of Incubator Groups" href="#Incubator">Incubator Groups</a></dt>

          <dd><a href="/2005/Incubator/">Incubator Groups</a> foster rapid development, on a time
          scale of a year or less, of new Web-related concepts.
          Target concepts include innovative ideas for
          specifications, guidelines, and applications that are not
          (or not yet) clear candidates for development and more
          thorough scrutiny under the current W3C Recommendation
          Track.</dd>
        </dl>

        <p>In addition to these groups, W3C has chartered two
        permanent groups:</p>

        <dl>
          <dt><a href="/2001/tag/">Technical Architecture Group
          (TAG)</a></dt>

          <dd>W3C created the TAG to document and build consensus
          around principles of Web architecture and to interpret
          and clarify these principles when necessary. The TAG also
          helps to resolve issues involving general Web
          architecture brought to the TAG, and helps coordinate
          cross-technology architecture developments inside and
          outside W3C. Some TAG Participants are elected by by the
          W3C Members, others are appointed by the W3C
          Director.</dd>

          <dt><a href="/2002/ab/">Advisory Board (AB)</a></dt>

          <dd>The Advisory Board provides ongoing guidance to the
          Team on issues of strategy, management, legal matters,
          process, and conflict resolution. The Advisory Board also
          serves the Members by tracking issues raised between
          Advisory Committee meetings, soliciting Member comments
          on such issues, and proposing actions to resolve these
          issues. The Advisory Board manages the evolution of the
          <a href="/Consortium/Process/">Process Document</a>. AB
          Participants are elected by the W3C Members.</dd>
