Well, apparently this was a real question.

W3C members are visible here: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List

Those are the members that decided that WebAssembly is now an official web standard, not the testimonials.

I'm investigating more about the voting system here, https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Process/ERB.html.

The voting system is roughly: any paying member company can submit a "formal objection", which will be considered by W3C management ("on behalf of" Tim Berners-Lee). If upheld by management then the recommendation doesn't go forward. (This is very rare; I don't know of any instances off the top of my head.)
