The only way to guarentee it is to become a W3C member and submit the proposal to the working group as a working group member. W3C membership fees are on a sliding scale, I believe the lowest price is $6350. [1] [1] http://www.w3.org/Consortium/fees However, there are CSS working groups members who monitor this list and if they think an idea is good they bring it forward. What happends depends on the spec and its editors. As an editor of the CSS 2.1, Selectors, Lists and Generated Content specs I track all feedback on this list for those specs and ensure I take it into account, but I can't speak for the other editors (and in any case "taking it into account" can sometime mean disagreeing and rejecting it). In theory we are supposed to reply to all comments on our specs but in practice the sheer volume of feedback we get makes that difficult. If you have any questions about specific suggestions and feedback on CSS 2.1 in particular, I'd be glad to look up what the resolution was and let you know.
