The Consortium
Standing is earned.
The consortium is the body of institutions and people that writes and ratifies the standard. No membership confers control over the specification; it stays open to every implementer.
Membership
Who the consortium convenes.

Membership begins with a conversation.
A person reads every request and replies.
