That's actually one of the things I wondered and wanted to throw into
the discussions at some time....but forgot about it later on. I asked
myself, where is Microsoft in all this. With Yahoo and Google having
more than enough representatives, it was very quite from that corner.
Besides that I've got sometimes the feeling that there is some
over-representation of corporate and corporate affiliated members... I
view this actually as some balancing of the others. <br>
