Joining the W3C HTML Working Group
Today I joined the W3C HTML WG as an Invited Expert.
The only thing that worries me is this part in the Good Standing in a Working Group section of the W3C Process Document 6 Working Groups, Interest Groups, and Coordination Groups:
Participation by an individual in a Working Group on an ongoing basis implies a serious commitment to the charter, including all of the following:
- attending most meetings of the Working Group.
As I am self-funded, it is highly unlikely that I will be able to attend any meetings. But we'll see when we get there.
If you also need to join the WG, please read the post W3C restarts HTML effort on the (highly recommended) WHATWG Blog.

Since all decisions will be made on the mailing list, you don't actually have to attend to any meetings. Having a meeting with 200+ people wouldn't work anyway.

The good standing requirements have been dropped for this group (look at the charter).

Oh, I must have missed this. I see that under the participation section it says "There is no minimum requirement for other Participants." Thanks for pointing that out.
