Call for Participation in Sustainability Community Group
The Sustainability Community Group has been launched:
The Sustainability CG is a group for discussing all aspects of sustainability (s12y) with respect to web technologies present & future, including developing horizontal reviews of sustainability (e.g. energy use or device obsolescence impacts of technologies).
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2022-04-23 by Tantek Çelik. The following people supported its creation: Tantek Çelik, Nick Doty, Mehmet Oguz Derin, Chris Needham, Pablo COCA, Christoph Becker. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
Thanks to the W3C #sustainability Community for inspiring and coming to consensus on this proposal! Copied from the Slack:
Note past/existing CGs which this proposed group is not intending to replace (thanks @Nick Doty for digging through CGs)

I’m proposing starting the CG with myself (with background as leading the Sustainability session at TPAC 2021) and Nick Doty (experienced co-chair of Privacy Interest Group) as co-chairs to start with, and certainly open to adding additional co-chairs (especially those with both topical experience/expertise and experience de-escalating conflicts and promptly resolving Code of Conduct (CEPC) violations)
