Resources for Group Chairs
Each group must have a Chair (or co-Chairs) to facilitate effective discussion and coordinate the group’s activities. The Team appoints (and re-appoints) Chairs for all groups. (Requirements for All Chartered Groups, W3C Process)
Discussion of issues that groups face take place on the chairs mailing list (Member-only archive). You may also find chairs meetings back to 1997 an interesting source of wisdom.
