Read this post and get an idea about W3C Standards:
Most W3C work revolves around the standardization of Web technologies. To accomplish this work, W3C follows processesthat promote the development of high-quality standards based on the consensus of the community. W3C processes promote fairness, responsiveness, and progress, all facets of the W3C mission.
Intro to Standards
The W3C technical report development process is the set of steps and requirements followed by W3C Working Groups to standardize Web technology. Through this process, W3C seeks to maximize consensus about the content of a technical report, to ensure high technical and editorial quality, to promote consistency amongspecifications, and to earn endorsement by W3C and the broader community. Learn more in the introduction to the W3C Process.
Input to the W3C standards process may come from a variety of places, including:
