Because of this article and comments here, I went to look at what w3c membership, and donations look like. https://www.w3.org/Consortium/fees?countryCode=US&quarter=04-01&year=2016#results https://www.w3.org/Consortium/fees?countryCode=US&quarter=04... Ultimately the w3c is doing something that is in the best interest of its participants and NOT in the interest of users, or consumers. In this document ( http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Process-19991111/background.html http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/Process-19991111/backgr... ) the w3c claims: "W3C is a non-profit organization funded partly by commercial members. Its activities remain vendor neutral, however." Yet I can find no US IRS 990, or foreign equivalent. Fundamentally this structure doesn't look like a non profit. It also doesn't look like it has the best interests of the community (us) as a whole in mind. IANAL but I have to wonder if it is possible to challenge the w3c on its continued use of "non-profit". I also wonder if there is a way to put pressure on them to allow non profit orgianzations free access to these committees outside of collecting a fee from them, as it strikes me as an un-needed burden.
