Correct.  So only those people who can pay for membership are able to participate in the development of the standard.  How is restricting the participants in the development of the standard “open”?  Seems much more restrictive than ISO’s open participation model…

ISO also has a much more extensible liaison model than other organizations to enable members of organizations like the W3C, etc. to participate on equal footing with “native” members…

I think the IETF, W3C or DIF models are preferable, in terms of accessibility and adoption. You pay for membership, but not for access to the spec. How is it possible to call something an open standard, when it’s behind a significant paywall?

(That said, Andrew — I am intensely grateful that both you and David Chadwick are participating in the mDL WG, so it is in no way a criticism of the work. I am merely bewildered at the ISO approach.)

Because someone is paying for the collaborative work spaces…

Pay-for standards should have no role in SSI because they are inaccessible to community-supported F/OSS.

IEEE has tried to split this baby with their privacy-inflected 7000 series. It’s a potential solution for ISO. As it stands, ISO collaboration seems like a good way for W3C and IETF to lose our way.

…yeah, except we’re sitting here realizing our standard is being displaced by this new standard using the 20 year old model, so….

Pay-for-standards was a great idea..twenty years ago.
