The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an organization that "develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding." (http://www.w3.org)
Basically, they help the internet be all that it can be. Supporting businesses include Microsoft, HP, and Nokia. Al Gore also praised the W3C for their committment to making the web more accessible for people with disabilities.
Members of W3C take on a leadership role in shaping the web, promote their image as an innovator, and learn about market trends before the rest of the business does.
