| <h2 id="commteam">Interactions with the W3C | ||
| Communications Team</h2> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>At various stages during the Recommendation Track process, the | ||
| W3C Communications Team assists Working Groups as follows:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>Organizing formal Advisory Committee reviews (including | ||
| scheduling and preparation of review forms).</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Issuing a press release around a First Public Working Draft, | ||
| Candidate Recommendation, Recommendation, or other transition (for | ||
| example, to announce completion of important work or to raise | ||
| awareness at a conference). The Communications Team generally begins work | ||
| on a draft press release several weeks in advance of an anticipated | ||
| release, soliciting review within the Team. The Communications | ||
| Team may also request Working Group review of a draft press | ||
| release. In general, the Communications Team strives to make press | ||
| releases available in English, French, Japanese and Chinese. The W3C Offices | ||
| translate <a href="/press-releases/">W3C press releases</a> into additional | ||
| languages.</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Soliciting testimonials in support of a document, usually more | ||
| than a month in advance of publication of a Recommendation.</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Announcing publication to Members and the press.</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Listing the publication on the W3C home page and in Member | ||
| publications. In general, the Communications Team | ||
| drafts home page announcements for publications (see | ||
| <a href="/news/">past news items</a>). Input from Team Contacts | ||
| for announcements of First Public Working Drafts is appreciated.</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Writing speaking points for the press, generally with input | ||
| from the Working Group.</li> | ||
|
|
||
| <li>Coordinating spokespeople to answer technical questions from | ||
| the press.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Please contact the Communications Team at [email protected] | ||
| (cc'ing the group's Team Contact) if you have any general questions | ||
| regarding the publications process.</p> | ||
