Created in March 1998, the Advisory Board provides ongoing guidance to the W3C Team on issues of strategy, management, legal matters, process, and conflict resolution. The Advisory Board also serves the W3C Members by tracking issues raised between Advisory Committee meetings, soliciting Member comments on such issues, and proposing actions to resolve these issues. The Advisory Board manages the evolution of the Process Document. The Advisory Board hears appeals of Member Submission requests that are rejected for reasons unrelated to Web architecture. For several years, the AB has conducted its work in a public wiki.

The elected Members of the Advisory Board participate as individual contributors and not representatives of their organizations. Advisory Board participants use their best judgment to find the best solutions for the Web, not just for any particular network, technology, vendor, or user.
W3C Workshop Report: Data Privacy Controls and Vocabularies
3 June 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7053>
W3C published today the final report of the W3C Workshop on Data Privacy Controls and Vocabularies, which was held on 17-18 April 2018, in Vienna (Austria).
<https://www.w3.org/2018/vocabws/report>
<https://www.w3.org/2018/vocabws/>
The workshop examined the opportunities for privacy vocabularies to be used in conjunction with Linked Data in order to open the path for a new generation of privacy enhancing technologies. Those technologies focus on controlling a compliant data handling. They help with the challenges for privacy and security on the Web of Data and the Web of Things.
The workshop gave a strong message of support for W3C to initiate work on Privacy Vocabularies and Taxonomies and to look further into the idea of guiding data handling with Linked Data annotations. As this is partly still exploratory, the people present encouraged the creation of a Community Group. Since then, the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls CG (DPVCG) has been launched. Please, join if you are interested in the topic.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Writing Modes Level 4 and Updated CSS Writing Modes Level 3
24 May 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7047>
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of "CSS Writing Modes Level 4" Candidate Recommendation and an updatd Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Writing Modes Level 3." These documents define CSS support for various international writing modes, such as left-to-right (e.g. Latin or Indic), right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew or Arabic), bidirectional (e.g. mixed Latin and Arabic) and vertical (e.g. Asian scripts). Level 4 is identical to Level 3, except that it contains the previously at-risk features which were dropped from Level 3 and an additional set of changes to more precisely define the box model’s interaction with bidi.

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Containment Module Level 1
24 May 2018
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/7040>
The CSS Working Group invites implementations of an updated Candidate Recommendation of "CSS Containment Module Level 1." This CSS module describes the "'contain'" property, which indicates that the element’s subtree is independent of the rest of the page. This enables heavy optimizations by user agents when used well.
