Doesn't this appear strange - considering that usually when you do work for
people you get paid. As to the level of the membership fee - I can only
think that this is intentionaly high, to block the little fish out. Full
membership for a years salary? Come on.

<- Right: $50,000 for full membership, and $5,000 for affiliate
<- membership, per year. Compared to membership in other standards
<- organizations I'm familiar with (such as OMG or ITU-T), it is not that
<- much.

<- There are other means of influencing as well: W3C publishes candidate
<- recommendations, and the public has an opportunity to review those
<- quite some time before they get adopted. Many of the member expers
<- have a technical background and will be open to technical arguments,
<- so providing feedback should help to avoid technical inconsistencies,
<- and underspecification. I'm sure many readers of this list have
<- participated that way in the past, without paying a dime.

<- Just sitting back and complaining about the results when they are
<- final is inappropriate, IMO.
