   [] W3C is pleased to announce the selection of Australian
   National University (ANU) in Canberra as the new host of the
   W3C Australia Office. The Australian W3C Office will be jointly
   hosted by the ANU College of Business and Economics and the ANU
   College of Engineering and Computer Science. Dr. Armin Haller

   contact for W3C work and help ensure that W3C and its
   specifications reach an international audience. Professor
   Shirley Leitch, Dean of the ANU College of Business and
   Economics commented, “We are delighted to be selected to host
   the Australian office for W3C, an organization that defines the
   international standards of the World Wide Web and shapes the
   future of the Web.” Professor Elanor Huntington, Dean of the
   ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science said the
   University will integrate ideas and developments from the W3C
   into its teaching. Read more in our press release, and learn

Web Payments Use Cases 1.0 Draft Published

   30 July 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4903>

   The Web Payments Interest Group has published a Working Draft
   of "Web Payments Use Cases 1.0." This document is a
   prioritized list of Web payments use cases. Guided by these use
   cases, the W3C Web Payments Interest Group plans to derive
   architecture and associated technology requirements to
   integrate payments into the Open Web Platform. That work will
   form the basis of conversations with W3C groups and the broader
   payments industry about which standards (from W3C or other
   organizations) will be necessary to fulfill the use cases and
   make payments over the Web easier and more secure. Learn more
   about the Payments Activity.

W3C Updates Recommendation Track Process

   30 July 2015
   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4901>

   W3C approved the 1 September 2015 W3C Process Document. The
   principal changes were the removal of “Activities” and
   “Coordination Groups” as formal concepts within the W3C
   Process. These changes removed an entire section (formerly
   Section 5) and caused editorial changes throughout. The
   procedures for resigning from a Group and for handling change
   of affiliation of a TAG participant are clarified. A Process
   Transition FAQ answers questions related to the adoption of the
   2015 Process.

   This document was developed between the W3C Advisory Board and
   the public Revising W3C Process Community Group.
