I preferred the old one. Think it was clearer what it referred to for people not familiar with the logo.

  Yep. “Abstract” is not what you want for brand iconography.

  I agree, though Nike would not

  I disagree that the new one is too abstract. The w³ part is pretty pronounced, and then there's design elements that reminds me of surfing.

  I like the old one because I like the W3C, but when you see it you do get the impression that they were important in 1995 and probably haven't done anything since.

  I'm with you. I don't love the new one, but it's an improvement.

Experts in web technologies, but evidently not in graphic design.

I like this one. Positive change in my opinion. :)

"Not every change is a change for the better" is especially valid in the logo design area.
And: Don't they have real problems where they could have spent time and effort on instead?

The consortium clearly has too much money.
