What is the difference between a world of free participation within the CG (of which the CV / Lists.w3 process is already for filled) vs. paying $100. There is no proposal to associate a fee for CGs. They continue to be without cost. The Webizen proposal is to allow more of an affiliation and support for W3C as an organization. > > Is the intention to privatise participation, subject to this new financing arrangement?

The primary topics are to finish hashing out is how we want to discuss representation in the wiki [2], and how we want to ask about it in the survey (Q8 and Q9 of [4]).
