Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

Unfortunately it not only has to be companies, but unless you are a producer of products that are HDMI certified already your membership will be denied. It would take a lot of fuckery to make that many corporations and not have all of their membership applications be denied. Also I’m not sure that it’s even a voting democracy in the traditional sense even if you could.

Don’t you just need to setup a run of HDMI devices and have 80 companies invest together as a group for manufacturing, then have each company put their own sticker on it.

While doing that for 80 companies is not feasible I doubt all 80 members are opposed. Valve and AMD could talk to video card, monitor, laptop and handheld makers to pad the membership enough.
As for the democracy question a quick skim of their bylaws suggests it’s close enough.
