If I understood everything, you have to be a Wi-Fi Alliance member in order to develop/contribute/vote on all things WiFi. The smallest membership that allows you to participate is US$7,500/year for 2018 (next year it’ll be $7,725/year). And that’s only for small businesses and they won’t have all voting rights. The actual membership is a whopping US$15,000/year ($450 more next year).

It disgusts me to see that in order to improve something that a crapton of people use daily to protect them self, that’s currently broken, you’d have to pay. I didn’t see any mention that individuals can become members on the website of the Wi-Fi Alliance seems to be only businesses can participate.

I’d be alright with some open-source implementation instead.
