The OpenAjax Alliance is an organization of leading vendors, open source projects, and companies using Ajax that are dedicated to the successful adoption of open and interoperable Ajax-based Web technologies. The prime objective is to accelerate customer success with Ajax by promoting a customer's ability to mix and match solutions from Ajax technology providers and by helping to drive the future of the Ajax ecosystem.

In 2012, we had only have only active committee, the Accessibility committee. That committee was chartered as a Working Group from November 2010 to June 2011. During this chartered period, they completed Accessibility Rules Format 1.0 Specification and this specification was formally approved as an OpenAjax Alliance Specification by the members and Steering Committee in May 2011 (within the chartering period). The committee has continued to meet weekly and work on next versions of specifications and open source without formally renewing the Working Group.
