W3C TAG

=======

The **Technical Architecture Group** documents the architecture of the World Wide Web and assists the community in interpreting it. It is composed of engineers both elected by the membership of the [W3C](https://www.w3.org/) and [appointed by the W3C Team](https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#TAG-appointments), working to safeguard and extend the Web through coordination, collaboration, and review.
