OGB membership is irrelevant - no community "has a OGB member" - what they
have is people they've designated as Contributors to their community.
You can see the list of Contributors on poll.opensolaris.org.
Stephen Hahn sent repeated mails to each community over a 6 month+ period.
No one from the Device Drivers community responded with a single name of
a person who should be recognized as a Contributor to the community and
a member of the community's decision making body.

No, most other communities have selected people who can vote to make
decisions for the community.
