* For most Working Groups you may consider just joining the '''[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ public mailing list]''':

*# Send an email to "list-name-request@w3.org" with the subject "subscribe".  (Don't forget to add the "-request" to the end of the list name.)

*# Reply to the automated reply.

* If you want to become a member of a WG, IG, or a CG, and you work for Mozilla:

*# Make sure you have a W3C member access account associated with Mozilla:

*#* if you don't already have a W3C user account, '''[https://www.w3.org/accounts/request create one]''' using your <kbd>@mozilla.com</kbd> email address. Using mozilla.com will lead to your account being created automatically; other email addresses will require that you choose '''Mozilla Foundation''' as the affiliation, and then there will be a human intervention step that requires a day or so, perhaps more. You may create your account with your Mozilla email, then add a personal email and set it as your preferred if you wish.

*#* if you have an W3C user account associated with a previous employer or as an invited expert, '''[https://www.w3.org/Systems/db/userInfo#affiliation change the affiliation of that account]''' to '''Mozilla Foundation'''

*#* Edit the "Bio" section in your profile: https://www.w3.org/users/myprofile and add at least:

*#** your Homepage URL (e.g. <kbd>See also: https://my.example.com/</kbd>)

*#* Edit your [https://www.w3.org/users/myprofile/connectedaccounts Connected Accounts] and link up your GitHub account. This will allow you to view W3C Member-only repositories, e.g. https://github.com/w3c/AB-memberonly/issues  

*# Contact Mozilla's [[#Advisory_Committee_Representative|Advisory Committee Representative]], confirm you have read this page and have your manager’s approval to participate, and ask the AC Rep to approve your request to join.
