W3C takes on new chair
16:46 28th August 2009
The World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group (W3C) has announced it has hired two new co-chairs.
W3C is responsible for standardising the higher text mark-up language (HTML), which students on web design courses are no doubt familiar with.
After the resignation of Microsoft's Chris Wilson, the group opted to take in two new members. Paul Cotton, from Microsoft's web services standards team and Maciej Stachowiak, who manages Apple's WebKit WebApps team.
The construction of the internet is decided between W3C and the companies that design browsers.
Further regulation comes from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, whose job it is to assign domain names.
It is hoped that concerns, which arise specifically to Apple users, will now be dealt with by the highest authority possible.
