Hi Jonathan, I can give some examples since you like them :-) ... This kind of organization would be|have been most usefull for RSS, for the definition of a wiki markup language, for TransQuery, for examplotron to name a few examples in which I have been involved.

These are good questions and I think that to be usefull such an organization should fill a need which is not yet fulfilled by other organizations.
