          Members." --[67]W3C Process Document

    Accessing Consortium Resources

       W3C Member Web Site Access

        The Member Site Access System has been created to enable you to access
        the [213]Member Site from the office or a remote location. Each
        individual from Member organizations will be assigned a unique
        username and password after completing the account request form at
        [214]http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/

         [213] http://www.w3.org/Member/
         [214] http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/AccessRequest

        Each request is reviewed individually by designated W3C Team members
        to ensure that the site will only be accessed by authorized users.
        Usernames and passwords are issued via email by the following (US)
        business day; there is also a form for changing personal passwords at
        [215]http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/ChangePassword.

         [215] http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/ChangePassword

        Please take this opportunity to apply for a personal account so that
        you are prepared when critical information is posted on the Member
        Site.

        Access to W3C Member information is a benefit of Membership. Members
        lose the benefit of privileged access if they distribute their
        passwords to non-Members or make Member information publicly
        available. Please, protect your access privilege.

        Contact the W3C Webmaster Team at [216]member-access@w3.org with any
        questions.

        available online. We also track the W3C message as it appears in the
        media; our [220]W3C Media Appearance archive lists over two thousand

        The Newsletter is a monthly supplement to the [221]W3C Member Web
        site, distributed over the Web, by email, and even by fax upon
        request. It is an especially critical channel for reaching [222]W3C
        Advisory Committee Members with meeting announcements and official
        business.

         [221] http://www.w3.org/Member/

    Policies

       Using the "W3C Member" Logo

        Members of the World Wide Web Consortium are authorized and encouraged
        to display the "W3C Member" icon on their products, packaging and
        literature, provided that no implication of endorsement of products by
        W3C is made. Feel free to use it also on your Web pages, in which case
        it must be linked to [223]http://www.w3.org/. This is further
        described on the [224]W3C Logo and Icon Usage page.

       Preparing Press Releases With W3C

        It is important that any public information relating to the Consortium
        is accurate and consistent. We require that any press release by
        Members mentioning the W3C (or the host sites MIT, INRIA and Keio) be
        authorized by W3C's Communications Team. Press releases (in whole or
        relevant part) should be addressed by email to [225]w3t-pr@w3.org . We
        will endeavor to respond within two working days if not more rapidly.

         [225] mailto:w3t-PR@w3.org

       Submitting Proposals to W3C

        W3C Member organizations have the opportunity to formally submit
        technical proposals, action plans, etc. The required steps are
        outlined in the [226]current W3C Process. Note that part of the
        Process states:

         [226] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/

          Prior to acknowledgment, the Submitter must not, under any
          circumstances, refer to a document as "submitted to the World Wide
          Web Consortium" or "under consideration by W3C" or any similar
          phrase either in public or Member communication. The Submitter must
          not imply in public or Member communication that W3C is working
          (with the Submitter) on the material in the Submission request.

        A current and complete list of all official Submissions to the W3C is
        available online at http://www.w3.org/Submission/
