Proposed Group: Threats and Harms Community Group

The Threats and Harms Community Group has been proposed by Daniel Appelquist:

This group’s purpose is to develop documentation around threats and harms related to societal impacts and Human Rights issues, outside the scope of other areas already addressed by other W3C groups, such as Accessibility, Privacy, Security, Internationalisation, and Sustainability. Examples of the kind of work proposed include human rights threat modelling, principles, checklists, and questionnaires that could become part of, or help to inform, wide review. This group welcomes participation by civil society organizations.

This group will not publish Specifications.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
