Re: Strange Discovery Linked to W3C and World Wide Web Origins

Hello,

No, sorry, "@the.was.project" does not ring a bell to us.
We will deactivate the account you created yesterday as people need an account only to participate in and contribute to work groups.
cf. https://www.w3.org/help/#account

Best regards,
Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications

MD.”
