   Easy-to-Read on the Web to be held on 3 December 2012.
   Researchers, practitioners, content authors, designers,

   on the Web easier to understand, particularly by people with
   cognitive disabilities and people with low language skills. The
   symposium will explore user needs and the state of the art in
   research, development, and practice to contribute to a common
   understanding of easy-to-read on the Web. For details and

User Interface Safety Directives for Content Security Policy Draft
Published

   20 November 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9634

   The Web Application Security Working Group has published the
   First Public Working Draft of "User Interface Safety Directives
   for Content Security Policy." This document defines directives
   for the Content Security Policy mechanism to declare a set of
   input protections for a web resource's user interface, defines
   a non-normative set of heuristics for Web user agents to
   implement these input protections, and a reporting mechanism
   for when they are triggered. Learn more about the Security
   Activity.

Workshops

     * 2012-11-26 (26 NOV) – 2012-11-27 (27 NOV)
       Do Not Track and Beyond
       http://www.w3.org/2012/dnt-ws/
       Berkeley, California
       Hosted by UC Berkeley and TRUST Science and Technology
       Center
       This workshop serves as a forum for the W3C membership and
       the public to discuss the Consortium's next steps in the
       area of tracking protection and Web privacy. What have we
       learned from Do Not Track standardization and real-world
       implementations? Furthermore, undoubtedly support for
       privacy on the Web platform cannot end with Do Not Track:
       what should we look at next and beyond DNT?
     * 2013-02-11 (11 FEB) – 2013-02-12 (12 FEB)
       Electronic Books and the Open Web Platform
       http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/
       New York (USA)
       Hosted by O'Reilly Media
       Today’s eBook market is dynamic, fast-changing and strong.
       eBooks compete with printed versions, and there is a wide
       choice of hardware and software available for eBook
       readers. Nevertheless, publishers face major business and
       technical challenges in this market, some of which could be
       reduced or removed by standardization.
     * 2013-03-12 (12 MAR) – 2013-03-13 (13 MAR)
       Making the Multilingual Web Work
       http://www.multilingualweb.eu/en/documents/rome-workshop/ro
       me-cfp
       Rome, Italy
       Hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the
       United Nations (FAO).
       The MultilingualWeb community develops and promotes best
       practices and standards related to all aspects of creating,
       localizing, and deploying the Web across boundaries of
       language. It aims to raise the visibility of existing best
       practices and standards for dealing with language on the
       Internet and on identifying and resolving gaps that keep
       the Internet from living up to its global potential.
