Announced over the weekend, the World Wide Web Foundation is a new initiative from Tim Berners-Lee that:

“…seeks to advance One Web that is free and open, to expand the Web’s capability and robustness, and to extend the Web’s benefits to all people on the planet.”

There are a couple of programs under this foundation, including “Web Science and Research”, “Web Technology and Practice” and “Web for Society.” You can get more info on these programs at the foundation’s concept page.
