Speaking guidelines
All participants are asked to respect W3C's Code
of Conduct and the W3C
Antitrust and Competition Policy.
The W3C's global audience is thankful to participants and speakers
for following these essential guidelines.
All attendees
- Remote attendees must use high quality audio equipment as we
are providing professional real-time captioning in English.
- Speak directly into the microphone so that all attendees hear
you and interpreters and captioners are able to understand you.
- Speak clearly, at a rate that people can follow; use simple
language, avoid jargon and expand acronyms for the first time
you use them.
Audience
- Use ‘q+’ in IRC
to record your question in advance.
- State slowly and clearly your name and affiliation.
- Be brief and concise.
- Directly address the topic discussed; refrain from monologuing
and broaching some tangential topic.
Presenter – slides
Presenter – talk or panel
- State the objective of your presentation.
- State each slide number as you advance through them.
- State a conclusion or wrap up with proposed next steps.

Resources public wiki.
