"Participation is open to all interested parties, regardless of company affiliation. Voting status is gained by attending three meetings within a three month period (a new participant can vote at the third meeting). A voting participant must attend no less than one of every three scheduled meetings in order to maintain voting status."
So *if* Linus decides that UDI is to be supported, somebody can represent Linux at UDI meetings and even vote. Even without attending meetings, at least it is an open spec, unlike I2O.
However, don't forget that it is expensive to attend standards meetings on a regular basis and to maintain voting status. Such meetings generally move around so it's not sufficient to simply find someone that is local to the regular meeting location.
