They're willing to join W3C as members (provide funding). 2. They're willing to join the Working Group to contribute (provide labor). 3. They're willing to build software and products based on the Working Groups output (provide market support). Fundamentally, the question is "Are these organizations going to make this standard successful"? W3C is composed of 400+ member organizations, a healthy chunk of them are small 5-25 person companies. Small organizations do a lion share of the work in some of these groups. If you are an organization that wants to use the technology AFTER it is standardized by just reusing someone else's code... you're not going to help us get this thing off of the ground (you are weakly committed). If you're an organization and you're going to join the WG and build products around the technology, you should fill out the form as you will most likely be key to achieving success (you are strongly committed). Hope that helps provide some context. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
