Who makes the final decision: Ultimately it's the Director gets to decide Huh? ONE person gets to decide the future of the web? Who is the director? Tim Berners-Lee. Whew. I highly doubt TBL is going to let Adobe ruin the web. I have a lot of faith in TBL. But I'm starting to understand more how this works. Large corporations, like Adobe, who want to be a member of the W3C have to pay $68.500 every year. They aren't doing this for charity, they're doing it as an investment in their stake of the future web.

With that kind of influence, it is no wonder that the process is taking so long and so held up by greedy corporate motives. $70k/yr is also a very good explanation for why they keep it so secret. If it isn't secret, then what are these companies paying $70k for?
