The CEO of Mozilla, for comparison, receives an order of magnitude more compensation.

But Mozilla actually produces a product and makes deals for cash w/ google. W3C CEO baby-sits a standards pipeline.

Probably more apropos to compare W3C CEO to Andy Sullivan, the ISoc CEO, though I don't know what his salary is.

In 2020 Sullivan earned $315k base, $100k bonus, and $37k retirement compensation for a total of ~$470k.

Wow. Thx for the link! Andy makes way more than I thought. He is, however, a reasonably nice guy. Or at least he was the two or three times I met him.

While W3C is globally impactful, they do only have 48 listed employees on their website. So there is less management complexity.
