Standards

There are a lot of people at Mozilla working with a variety of different standards bodies. This is a directory of standards organizations (and sub-orgs like working groups) listing who at Mozilla is working with each.

Web Standards Coordination

To encourage better web standards coordination and cross-pollination, the sections below are organized alphabetically by standards body, then alphabetically by working group (if any), then the list of Mozilla folks participating in that working group, optionally listing which particular specifications (or sections thereof) that they edit/author/contribute to.

If you actively communicate/participate with a standards body, please add yourself (and the standards body / working group if necessary).

If you work in multiple working groups or with multiple standards organizations, list yourself in each, linking to your wiki User page.

For standards development/implementation see and add to: Standards implementation

Thanks!
