hl7 is a member, and GE is a member of HL7,
does it make GE a member of W3C?
no
"Membership is open to other organizations that themselves have
members ("membership organizations"). In this case, the benefits
of W3C Membership generally only extend to the staff and officers
of those organizations. Benefits do not flow through to the
membership organization's own members."
