As stated in its charter, the mission of the Web Application Security Working Group is to develop technical and policy mechanisms to improve the security of and enable secure cross-site communications for applications on the Web.
The group's primary work mode is via discussion on a public mailing list: public-webappsec@w3.org | Subscribe | List Archives
WebAppSec conducts a one hour, members-only teleconference every two weeks. See the calendar of events for the most current dates and times and dial-in details.
Participants in the teleconference are encouraged to please also join the #webappsec channel during the call. Connect to irc.w3.org:6665 with your favorite IRC client or use the web interface.
Minutes for teleconferences and face-to-face meeetings are archived here.
Please use the WG's GitHub repo or the GitHub issues link in each spec to manage spec text bugs and pull requests. (technical issues and feature requests must go through the public mailing list first)
