* The X3D Working Group ([http://www.web3d.org/working-groups/x3d executive summary]) is the main forum for coordinating all X3D specification activities, including other working groups.
 +
* This group also performs future X3D design, resolution of X3D specification comments, and review of X3D implementation resources.
 +
* Working group teleconferences are every Wednesday at 08-0900 Pacific time, 16-1700 UK time, on the Web3D teleconference line.

=== Access and Participation ===
 +
 
 +
Many Web3D technical efforts are visible to the public.  Some are restricted to Web3D Consortium members.  Membership has value.
 +
 
 +
* Web3D Consortium members are allowed to decide on specification priorities and whether new technology is accepted for our royalty-free X3D International Standard.
 +
* The general public is allowed to observe and comment at various stages of development.
 +
* Some working group activities are fully open, some activities are performed by Web3D Consortium members only.
 +
* Web3D Consortium members have agreed to the [http://www.web3d.org/sites/default/files/page/Join%20the%20Web3D%20Consortium/Web3D_IPR.pdf Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy] which effectively prevents any royalty-based technology from being adopted by X3D.
 +
* This approach provides great value to the public, and also allows both companies and individual professionals to contribute to X3D directly as Web3D Consortium members.
 +
* Meanwhile, each working group can still decide to place some work in the open and some with restricted access.  For example, HTML5/DOM work is open.
 +
* For private member-only communications, Web3D Members can also use the [http://www.web3d.org/member/wiki/Main Web3D Members-Only Wiki].
