Call for Review: XForms Becomes a W3C Proposed Recommendation

Emmanuel Pietriga Leaves W3C Team at MIT
Emmanuel Pietriga departs the W3C Team at MIT in August. He began his
work at W3C/MIT in September 2001. He was then a visiting scientist
from [227]Xerox Research Centre Europe, where he prepared his PhD
which was awarded to him in November 2002 by the [228]French Institut
National Polytechnique de Grenoble. During his time at W3C, Emmanuel
developed [229]IsaViz, a visual authoring tool for RDF, as well as an
RDF-based stylesheet language called [230]GSS, and also helped
maintain the [231]W3C RDF Validation Service. We thank Emmanuel for
his contributions to W3C and wish him the very best in his future
endeavors.

Accessing Consortium Resources
W3C Member Web Site Access
The Member Site Access System has been created to enable you to access
the [232]Member Site from the office or a remote location. Each
individual from Member organizations will be assigned a unique
username and password after completing the account request form at
[233]http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAcce ss/
[232] http://www.w3.org/Member/
[233] http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/AccessRequest
Each request is reviewed individually by designated W3C Team members
to ensure that the site will only be accessed by authorized users.
Usernames and passwords are issued via email by the following (US)
business day; there is also a new form for changing personal passwords
at [234]http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAcc ess/change_pwd.
[234] http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/ChangePassword
Please take this opportunity to apply for a personal account so that
you are prepared when critical information is posted on the Member

Access to W3C Member information is a benefit of Membership. Members
lose the benefit of privileged access if they distribute their
passwords to non-Members or make Member information publicly
available. Please, protect your access privilege.
