Jeff, In response to an open request to our membership, seven companies stepped forward to Sponsor this activity in 2013. They are Apple, Disney, Facebook, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Yahoo! (in alphabetical order). W3C appreciates the generosity of these companies. As we have explained in our open request to our membership, this helps defray the personnel, travel, and other expenses associated with supporting this Working Group.
