Share your idea
Look for an initial community of interestBefore getting started, check the list of current groups to see if people are already discussing your topic. You can join their group, or propose your own if you think your work will not overlap.

Learn how to publish a report
Chairs can publish group reportsSome Community and Business Groups publish reports. Each group must have a Chair, and the Chair is empowered to publish the group’s reports. Publishing a report announces it to the community, lists it on the group’s home page, and adds to the list of all reports.
Reports must satisfy a small number of requirements. Participants make Royalty-Free patent licensing commitments to specifications published by Community and Business Groups, and the material is available under a permissive copyright license.
Once a group has completed its work, it can publish a final report and call for stronger patent licensing commitments under the Final Specification Agreement.

Take it to the Next Level
Do you want to create a Web Standard?Community and Business Group Reports are not yet W3C Standards. Some groups may wish for their work to continue on the W3C Recommendation Track, the Process by which W3C charters Working Groups to develop Web standards. There are several advantages to advancing work to the Recommendation Track, including building stronger global consensus; systematic reviews for security, privacy, accessibility, and internationalization; a strong commitment from W3C to pursue broad interoperability, and additional W3C resources dedicated to advancing the work.
