I think this should answer your question:
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#What_is_the_WHATWG.3F
It doesn't seem to provide much useful information on the differences.
According to its charter <http://www.whatwg.org/charter>, WHAT-WG is a
group of 9 individuals who work with a very simple set of rules (basically
the editor of a specification decides what should be in it, but the 9
people can decide other things by "overwhelming majority"). There is a
mailing list, IRC, etc, and everyone else who contributes to the
discussion is called a contributor.
More about how WHAT-WG works is described at
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ
The HTML WG is one of the working groups of W3C. The working group has a
charter that describes some of how it works:
<http://www.w3.org/2007/03/HTML-WG-charter> W3C itself is a consortium of
member organisations, and the links from the HTML WG charter to the
process document will lead you into more information about how W3C works.
Note that in my personal opinion the Wikipedia page about W3C is outdated
and very poor quality information.
