<br>1. Does this grant of 2.5 million dollars over three years go towards any specific program or any specific improvement at W3C ? "to help make w3c more independent sounds insufficient as a description.<br><br>2. Apart from the W3C spending this grant on useful programs efficiently, it could also conserve its resources by aligning better with ISOC. W3C could, for a start, align its TPAC meeting to IETF meetings which if organized as a single event, would conserve resources, and enhance the overall 'bandwdith' by having W3C experts and IETF experts together for a meeting at the same place. Web Standards are part of Internet Standards, if we view the Web as part of the Internet. So why should the IETF and W3C meetings be separate?<br>

btw, the press release of ISOC is on the main site, and here are the Q&A: <a href="http://www.isoc.org/standards/isoc-w3c-faq.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.isoc.org/standards/isoc-w3c-faq.shtml</a><br>
<br>
In case you were wondering how much is the financial support - it's $ 2.5 Million over 3 years. Let's all hope that it will help W3C become independent.<br>

This is what is said in the Q&A, but it is not exact. This is the intention for the contribution, but really, there will be 3 anual payments and ISOC will have the power to stop the contribution based on the (lack of) progresses made by W3C and the reports about how the money is being spent.<br>
<br>
The anual contributions will be: 500k, 1M, 1M.<br><font color="#888888">
