The Internationalization Activity of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) has the mission of ensuring universal access to the Web, regardless of language, script or culture. In short, to help make the World Wide Web worldwide!

I’m the Internationalization Activity Lead, and staff contact for the Internationalization Core Working Group, and the ITS (Internationalized Tag Set) Interest Group.

I joined the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) in July 2002 to to help expand the work of the Internationalisation Activity, particularly in the area of guidelines, education and outreach. I am attached to ERCIM in the south of France (Sophia Antipolis), but based in the UK.

I’m on the advisory committee and review board of the Internationalization & Unicode Conference.

I’m also on the Unicode editorial committee.
