The Threats and Harms Community Group has been launched: https://www.w3.org/community/threats-and-harms/ -------------------------------------------------- This group's purpose is to develop documentation around threats and harms related to societal impacts and Human Rights issues, outside the scope of other areas already addressed by other W3C groups, such as Accessibility, Privacy, Security, Internationalisation, and Sustainability. Examples of the kind of work proposed include human rights threat modelling, principles, checklists, and questionnaires that could become part of, or help to inform, wide review. This group welcomes participation by civil society organizations. This group will not publish Specifications. -------------------------------------------------- To join: https://www.w3.org/community/threats-and-harms/join If you do not have one already, you will need a W3C account to join: https://www.w3.org/account/request/ This is a community initiative.
