World Wide Web Consortium abandons consensus, standardizes DRM with 58.4% support, EFF resigns

P.S., the W3C page says there are 463 members (including the EFF). 270 of 463 would be 58.3%, and 271 would be 58.5%. Are you counting only non-EFF members in this percentage? I can’t figure out how to get 58.4% of 463.

From the W3C press release:

In a vote by Members of the W3C ending mid September, 108 supported the Director’s decision to advance EME to W3C Recommendation that was appealed mid-July through the appeal process, while 57 opposed it and 20 abstained

I have no idea how these 185 member reconcile against the 463 listed in the membership section, I’d assume there is some non-voting form of membership.
