Jon Bosak is the Online Information Technology Architect for Sun Microsystems. He started and organized the XML Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 1996 and has served as Chairman of the XML WG since its inception. He is also a member of the W3C XSL Working Group, the W3C Hypertext Coordination Group, and the W3C Metadata Coordination Group. He is Sun's representative to ISO/IEC JTC1/WG4, which is the international standards group responsible for SGML, HyTime, and DSSSL, and is Sun's representative to its U.S. national counterpart, NCITS V1. He is a member of the International World Wide Web Conference Committee, a founding member of SGML Open (now the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), and was for several years a sponsor of the Davenport Group, which maintains the industry-standard DocBook markup language for software documentation used by SunSoft and a number of other software vendors. Jon was a primary contributor to the SGML-based "AnswerBook2" Web strategy used for the distribution of Solaris documentation. Before joining Sun, he was responsible for architecting the SGML-based delivery system used by Novell to put its documentation on CDs and later on the World Wide Web. Most recently, Jon took over the role of Chair of the World Wide Web Consortium XML Coordination Group.

Biographical notice:
 
Tim Bray is a Canadian. He entered the software profession in 1981 - after on-the-job training from Digital and GTE, he became manager of the New Oxford English Dictionary project at the University of Waterloo in 1986. This work led directly to his co-founding Open Text Corporation in 1989, and eventually to Open Text's becoming a public company in 1996. Since 1996, he has been an independent consultant in the areas of Internet and publishing technologies.
 
This work at the W3C involves five Working Groups directly within the XML Activity (Fragments, Infoset, Linking, Schema, and Syntax) as well as the XSL and DOM Working Groups. This report will cover the progress in all these areas.
