Question: #6
What is W3C Web Accessibility Initiative?
Answer:
The W3C is an international, vendor-neutral group that determines the protocols and standards for the Web. The W3C realized that they needed to make provisions to ensure that people with disabilities were not excluded from accessing it. From this realization, the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) was born.
