Yeah, I gotta admit I read about Governing Bodies, Working Groups, and Technical Advisory Committees - and instantly pigeonholed this as “for academic tenure track or Big Corp evangelists and subject matter experts only”.
Looks way too much like a bunch of suits and the occasional skunkworks greybeard deciding they want to tell open source project maintainers and contributors what to do.
Maybe they’ll do some good, it doesn’t sound like a thing I’d ever want to be involved in (you know, unless IBM or Microsoft or whoever offer me a Distinguished Engineer role where I can choose to dabble here at my leisure on their great big firehouse of dimes...)
