14:42 | <Devin Rousso> | what's the process for a person/company to become a delegate? i have a friend very interested in becoming a delegate, but neither he nor his employer are currently involved/delegates/members/etc 😅 |
14:48 | <Surma> | ^ relevant to my interest as well! |

14:50 | <jschoi> | Basically, it’s $75/yr for company-unaffiliated individual members. https://www.ecma-international.org/about-ecma/join-ecma/ |
14:50 | <ptomato> | does the employer want to become a member of ECMA? if not then the invited expert process seems plausible |
14:52 | <jschoi> | Ah, yeah, there are also invited experts, which does not cost money. For example, there’s at least one Babel member who is an invited expert. Information about this is at https://github.com/tc39/how-we-work/blob/master/invited-expert.md. |
14:52 | <Devin Rousso> | i dunno if his employer wants to join or not |
14:53 | <Devin Rousso> | is it possible for him to join as an individual? either as an invited expert or some other thing? |
14:53 | <ljharb> | Basically, it’s $75/yr for company-unaffiliated individual members. https://www.ecma-international.org/about-ecma/join-ecma/ |
14:54 | <ljharb> | i don't see anything on that page that mentions an individual membership and was unaware that was an option |
14:54 | <ljharb> | Devin Rousso: unless something's changed, the path to be a delegate is pretty much for their employer to join. they can be an invited expert but typically that's usually for specific feedback on a specific topic or proposal |
14:55 | <ljharb> | they can also participate in the OpenJS Foundation's Standards Working Group, and then become a delegate for the foundation |
14:55 | <ljharb> | but if they're representing their employer in any way then the expectation is that their employer will join |
14:58 | <Devin Rousso> | dope ty 😁 |
14:59 | <Devin Rousso> | will relay |
14:59 | <jschoi> | I was mistaken! I had misread the page. My apologies for misleading you, Devin Rousso. : ( |
