Good point. Here is a counter proposal:
In addition to accepting individuals to a Specification Group, the group lead or the group can nominate/elect (or whatever) a representative of an organization. If the represenative leaves that organization, the organization can nominate a replacement represenative. The original representative can remain on the Specification Group as an individual or perhaps representing some other company, but the company that originally invested in that represenative has the right to nominate a new represenative. The newly nominated represenative can be subject to a vote by the group. That way the organization that lost the represenative has the oppourtunity to maintain its place at the table but is not an automatic “pay to play” contributor.
I think that protects the investment made by the organization when it has payed the representative salary and gave that time to the Specification Group without making it a “pay to play” situation. So there can be individual group members and organizational group members.

Depending on the membership level, an
organization should automatically get a seat on any
specification project they want but should excercise
self-restraint to focus on those specifications germane to
their products. Why, for example, should a company become a
strategic member if it cannot have a seat at the table?
So, if you pay then you can play?
What about the people who don't pay?
At the JCP, the Spec Lead would decide whether an expert was
qualified to be on the expert group. We ran into quite a few people
who clearly only wanted to be on an expert group so that they could
add that to their resume. We rejected many of those people.
If "expert group members" are Committers on a Spec Project, who
qualifies the Committers? After the Project is created, I assume it
would be the Project Lead. Before the Project is created, is it
just the person who proposes the project? And you're suggesting
that the Project Lead would have no choice but to accept any
Committer proposed by a paying Member?
