Mike,
While members (including Oracle, IBM and others) have their
own seat in the EC of the JCP, OGC is a "Participating" member
of LocationTech
http://locationtech.org/membersSo that would qualify it to run for the steering committee
(somewhat similar to the JCP EC) and it should have a vote in
elections like that for the Steering Committee.
Maybe like JUGs (or Eclipse, I am not aware it's member of
any EG;-) it would not qualify to join or lead a LocationTech
project, but it does have "a voice" it seems, if only one.
So depending on how they make their decisions (asking their
members or not) that voice could well be influenced by its own
members, especially if they're "Strategic".
At least certain JUGs like the LJC are often vocal and
transparent about doing an internal voting and discussion
process first before their EC reps cast a vote.
I can't speak for you or Wayne but I guess someone at least
in the Board, Architecture Council or (say for IoT) a WG also
consulted before voting on certain JSRs?;-)

Werner,
You are mistaken. The OGC in no way represents any of its
members at
Eclipse or LocationTech. Just as Eclipse cannot speak on
behalf of any
of its members at the JCP or other organizations that we
belong to.
