Ms. Myers;
I checked W3.org towards joining and was surprised to find a membership fee
structure which seemed to be based on some sort of country-based
affordability schema.. (e.g. a small company in India would pay 953 USD
annually..). ~ We can’t understand the difference between a small company
in India and a small company in the US.
If cost of membership exceeds a certain percentage of a company’s revenues,
it becomes unaffordable (especially in these times). Also, by setting high
prices, the membership pricing schema appears to be exclusionary.
Are you planning any pricing changes to enlarge the ranks of the
participating organizations?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Ralph Falkenburg
