Later, Dave became co-chair of the EPUB 3 Working Group [5], which published EPUB 3.3 [6], the first version of EPUB that went through the formal W3C Process to become a W3C Recommendation. > Dave was not only co-chair, but also co-editor for several of these documents, and also participated in other groups (such as the CSS Working Group) representing the publishing industry. > > We would like to express our gratitude to Dave for his contributions and dedication to Publishing@W3C over the years. > > This announcement follows section 3.4.1 of the W3C Process Document: > https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20230612/#ReqsAllGroups > > Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications > > [1] https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/pm/ > [2] https://www.w3.org/ecosystems/publishing/ > [3] https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/epub3-cg/ > [4] https://www.w3.org/publishing/epub32/epub-spec.html > [5] https://www.w3.org/groups/wg/epub/ > [6] https://www.w3.org/press-releases/2023/epub33-rec/ -- Coralie Mercier - Head of W3C Marketing & Communications mailto:coralie@w3.org - https://www.w3.org/People/Coralie/
