[ig/sustyweb] Sustainable Web Interest Group #420
Comments
The CG has published its first draft: Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG) 1.0. |
New guidelines discussed at a TPAC breakout session |
The CG has published a second draft of the guidelines as well as a JSON API that can be used to develop sites and tools. |
See also At a Glance and the Quick Reference |
A draft charter has been reviewed by the CG. I plan to bring this to the Strategy Team for next steps. |

@himorin, I think the answer is "Invited Expert" |
Just a note that this effort was covered in a recent IEEE Spectrum article "We Need to Decarbonize Software " |
I have a concern with this charter that the work is much broader in scope than environmental sustainability and would prefer to see it focus in on that. The current report seems to want to be a guide to website development that considers every possible interpretation of "sustainable". |
Hi @chrisn, Thanks for the input! In the scope section the charter says:
If you do not think that sufficiently scopes the work, do you have any recommendations on what might help? I'm happy to jump on a call with you (and the proposed co-Chairs) to chat further. Ian |
When I've asked about this in the past, the response has been that the group has taken an ESG approach (which is mentioned in the charter) and the broader scope is a consequence of that. |
no comment or request from i18n (sorry for late, due that I've been on business trip..) |
no comment or request from APA. |
No specific comments from PING on the charter. However, we noted that the Guidelines document do tend to go outside the scope of sustainability, such as 2.11 Avoid Manipulative Patterns. |
Here's another example that's beyond the scope of environmental sustainability. While worthwhile, this seems to be beyond what W3C should be standardising. Is the group's plan to broaden the charter scope, or de-scope their draft report? |
Hi @chrisn, This is important feedback. I believe the CG is intentionally taking a broad position on sustainability (cf. for example this section on emissions v. ESG in the intro doc). I will bring this topic to the next CG meeting for more discussion. I have been wondering whether one way to scope the work is for a subset of the CG's guidelines to make their way into a WG deliverable. Thank you! |
Thanks, reading that section you linked to, I can see this is the root cause of the concerns I've mentioned here. It may be worth us discussing. |
@chrisn, would you be interested in attending the next CG meeting (24 April @ 13h00 UTC)? |
I would, but I see that the group has a practice of recording meetings, and I wouldn't consent to that. I'm not sure I have much more to add, though, tbh. |
I agree with ESG practices generally, and it's good to see them at the Web level as well. I don't have specific comments on the charter. Concerning the deliverable, I'm glad security has already been addressed. On the other hand, I agree with @plehegar and @chrisn that the scope of some of the chapters seems to me to be outside the scope of the Web but more at the organizational level, for some passages (i.e., 5.17, 5.18, 5.19, 5.23) along the lines of the B-Corp questionnaires. |
@plehegar, @simoneonofri, and @chrisn, I am chatting with the CG about model (which would be reflected in the charter) that the CG might continue to take a holistic approach in its thinking but that the WG Guidelines would be narrower (complemented by informative best practices). We are talking about what changes to the charter would help make that clear. |
Hi all, we've updated the draft charter deliverables based on the feedback about scope. The charter now provides more information about the ESG approach taken by the CG and also sets an expectation that the future Rec-track document may not include all of the guidelines. (The choice of what will be included will depend on the WG following the usual W3C Process.) |
I don't think the updated charter addresses the scope question, as rather than reduce scope it adds further explanation on existing goals. |
From last week's TAG minutes: https://github.com/w3ctag/meetings/blob/gh-pages/2024/telcons/06-03-minutes.md#charter-reviews (second bullet) |
Thank you, @ylafon. The group recognizes the importance of focus and that some of the guidelines in the CG report may not be part of a future Recommendation. |
Hi all, the AC review of the charter ended 22 July. In light of the feedback and after discussion with the anticipated group chairs, I recommend that we not pursue a WG charter. I will begin work with @caribouW3 and the proposed Chairs on a draft IG charter. I suggest we continue to use this funnel issue for the development of that charter. |
Work has begun on a (draft) IG charter. |
@ianbjacobs will keep shepherding this. we're getting a new resource on board for this work |
@TzviyaSiegman joined the W3C team today and will become Team Contact for the upcoming Group. |
Advance notice of IG charter sent to AC |
We're morphing into an IG. |
@chrisn This group has been shifted to an IG with a slightly adjusted scope. This should address most of your concerns. We might be aligned completely in our thinking, but details of exactly what will be included in WSG and what is documented separately will be assessed in the IG. |
Is there work being incubated (in a Community Group, Business Group, IG, WG, or outside of W3C) that you'd like to highlight for W3C team attention?
** UPDATE: draft wg charter is abandoned for an IG **
draft IG charter
diff from charter template
What's the work?
Sustainable Web Design CG
Web Sustainability Guidelines (WSG) 1.0
Where is it being incubated?
As of end of July 2023 the group is preparing a (lengthy) document using respec. Pre-respec content is available from the list of committees.
What help does it need?
Where do you think it should go next?
The group will need time to get extensive review of the materials.
