How and why does a company get a veto?

  Most W3C members are companies: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List. Each member gets a vote. (Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)

    And because most are companies it is dying a slow death.

    I understand they get a vote. I was asking why do they get a veto?

      The W3C operates on consensus, which means if any member is opposed a proposal does not go forward.
