Any member company may have a single representative on the W3C's 
"Advisory Council" or AC.  Typically, when a member company puts a 
representative on a WG, that will be someone else who has particular 
expertise/interest in that area of work; quite likely not the AC 
member.  For example, at Sun, our AC representative is Eduardo 
Gutentag, but if Atom went there, I'd wear the Sun hat on the Atom WG.
