Equality.

Since a single entity (OSCAF) has more influence than others, and that entity 
is sponsored by... I don't know, due list of current members still isn't 
online, "all animals are equal but someone is more equal than other".

Of course members in OSCAF (or OSCAF itself, or a technical delegation, or a 
sub-organization...) would partecipate to the development cycle, exactly as 
any other individual, but that "influence" you mentioned is exactly the 
unclear point about involving a commercial structure on top of decision 
making process.


As a side note: can you, OSCAF fans, agree about your positions and aims of 
your proposed structure? In previous mail Sebastian writes "this is pretty 
much what I have in mind", now you reply to disagree completely, it isn't so 
easy to understand you guys...
