The standards committees I have observed (I have never been on
one) are generally in the audio space and not the computer, but while
they welcome "guests", the decisions are reserved for the committee
members. Committee membership is not open to anyone who wants to be on
the committee, but those with a degree of expertise in the area the
committee is addressing. Anything else leads to madness.
I think it would help the 'ZFS Standards Committee' if it's
existence, membership, goals, and decisions were more public. I am not
suggesting a high level of detail. For example, membership could be
identified as: Members include representatives from Oracle and
Nexenta, send an email to the cont...@zfs-standard.org to contact a
committee member.
Knowing that something is happening and that the right players are
at the table is important to having trust in the process and results.
