About the WICG

The Web Incubator Community Group (WICG) is a community group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that incubates new web platform features. The WICG is a place for experimentation and discussion of new web platform features. The WICG is not a standards body, but rather a forum for discussion and incubation of new ideas that could one day become web standards.
