Given the diversity of work underway in the Consortium, including [groups that focus on horizontal reviews](horizontal-groups.md) (e.g., accessibility, security, and internationalization), as well as technologies that are initially focused on by some segment of the Web's stakeholders, there are times where exceptions to this practice may be considered. In those cases, the Team will document reasons why the exception is made.

Which license to be selected is found in the section ‘Licensing’ of the charter.
