Greetings. I'm Daniel Appelquist. I am the Advisory Committee representative for Telefónica and I am also the co-chair of the TAG. I'm a firm supporter of maximum transparency and openness. I think w3c, when compared to other industry consortia and standards development organizations is a very transparent and open origination. And I think there are areas where it must be more open and transparent, especially if it wishes to fulfil its mission as a key steward of the web platform, a role which it holds in trust not only of its members but of the wider community of developers and users. I think having an open and transparent discussion about this is a great step forward and I look forward to participating in it.

His documents highlight areas where the Consortium's work is mostly open and transparent yet could be improved [2]. I expanded on this document by identifying areas where the Consortium already has good Public collaboration. Everyone should feel free to update this document as well as all of its sub-resources (and of course please feel free to also create new sub-resources). > > Lastly, rather than a short introduction, if you'd like to learn a bit about me regarding my interest in open Web standards, please see [3] (my "Advisory Board nomination statement").
