6. Abstract: 

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is holding a symposium on how
Australians can be involved in the Consortium.  Steve Ball will be
attending, and shall give a report on the symposium in this seminar.

The symposium announcement states:

    W3C in Australia
                                               Who?  What?  Why?
    See        http://www.w3.org/    &      www.srl.rmit.edu.au/w3c/

    Who sets the standards, determines how 'our' web develops?

    What is W3C and how do we benefit/pay for it?  Whose interests are
    represented  by W3C?  Can we play a part?  Join the hundreds of companies
    and organisations working together to develop 'their' www.

    So far, US and European interests have dominated this work which has been
    done in the US and Europe.  Australian interests can now benefit from the
    current activities and generate more around Internet content and public
    policy.

    Australians supported the Olympic bid.  Now there is a bid for a W3C office
    in Australia.

    If you are involved in Internet, or will be soon, come to the meeting on
    October 23 and find out how you can participate immediately and in the
    longer term.   There will be 'a fast track introduction' for senior 
    executives, followed by more detailed interactions with W3C Executives 
    from MIT in the US.
