Re: Concerns with Accessibe joining W3C

I actually have concerns about this discussion. I'm sure going over the 
list of current members https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List each 
of us can find at least one or two current members that don't, in our 
view, fit our view of a good actor - maybe they are in the 
cryptocurrency market, or maybe they're tied to a media company heavily 
invested in embedding DRM schemes into standards, or maybe they're tied 
to a particular government body that is actively working on the 
suppression of free speech, or ...

However, under the rules, as long as they behave in accordance with the 
membership agreement, and follow the code of ethics and professional 
conduct https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/ (and as long as they pay 
their membership fees), they are free to join.
