There are no members of the W3C other than browser (and web-server) manufacturers. When the members of the W3C decide on something, that’s the browser manufacturers deciding on that thing. The real question, I suppose, is whether the people who interact with the W3C/WHATWG/etc. have decision-making power within the organizations they nominally represent. If not, then these bodies are kind of like the UN: nominally a place for treaties to be made, but in practice a place for ambassadors to glad-hand one-another while their leaders ignore the decisions they make.
