- klez 9y agoSo could I. I mean, I see what you mean, but to a casual observer that's not very clear.
- solarkraft 9y agoYour objection is funny. Other methods of communication could be faked. Here you have Github as an authority to check membership and the organisation's repositories as an official place of discussion (perhaps equivalent to the website). You do have to trust that the org is legitimate, but you could also fake a website or a whole organisaion.
- Ajedi32 9y agoGP is referring to the "Member" badge next to the commenter's name, not to any claims made in the comments themselves. You could claim to be a member of the W3C, but unless you actually are that badge won't show up next to your name in the issue tracker.
- apaprocki 9y agoThe GitHub org member list is not going to be an authoritative list of all delegates from all members that all have GH accounts. One of our W3C participants conveyed our objection and he isn't in the GH w3c org member list.
