This basically means that I, for instance, am not a Working Group Member, but part of one Member that has joined the Working Group. As for Opera, we internally decided that Lars Erik Bolstad will cast votes and make descisions on behalf of Opera within the Working Group when needed. I would expect that other Member companies / organizations have similar policies. Section 3.4 of the W3C Process document discusses this issue in more detail: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#Votes -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
