I do not feel like the TAG has sufficient power in controlling the direction of the web to be attractive enough for a (presumably ill-intentioned) vendor to attempt to "buy up votes"; I also find it personally a bit offensive that people seem to think candidates would be worthy of election but not to be trusted to not change their opinions or perspective due to an employment change. I believe we have to trust the AC membership to elect a representatively-broad set of members (or believe that Tim would use his appointments to balance out the membership). Personally, I would support abolishing the membership restrictions on the TAG (not the AB, necessarily). An elected cabal is hardly a cabal. I agree that the TAG has no power. I really wish they had more influence and effect though. An (even) more active TAG would be great, IMHO. Am I assuming that the ‘can live with it’ people would also prefer this over doing nothing at all. David Singer Manager, Software Standards, Apple Inc.
