A little more seriously, W3C doesn't tell people in general who the
members of WGs and IGs are, unless you're on the WG or IG or
work for a member organisation. Some of this, I gather, is to make
sure people representing their companies aren't hassled by
outsiders (e.g. journalists or lobbyists or people who disagree with
the implementations) unless the companies want them to be. And
W3C (and the WG or IG chairs!) don't want the questions of "why
isn't company X on WG Y" (I've had these, and there's no tactful
way of dealing with them).
Nothing stops any company or individual saying "I'm on this group",
of course.
cheers,
Lauren
