sub-group output and guidance in the scope/organization of the

organizations believe is needed in the market.
There does seem to be a general perception here that this is viable - in
other words, you get the individual experts to do the hard work, even
though they don't have a vote, and the entities are simply a benign
influence that enables this in some way.
I don't personally think that this can work. We actually have at least
one historical example where this was tried, and that was the FVTC
within Accellera. The FVTC did the hard work but, as it turned out, the
entities simply ignored the work and did what they wanted anyway.
