The Unicode Consortium has invitied all participants since its inception.
It's membership consists of many individuals representing themselves.
The original work to create the Unified CJK Repertoire was itself largely
a product of scholars, end users, and a few companies.
Why don't you bother checking the facts before you repeat hearsay? This
is just one of a number of reasons that your contributions aren't worth
the paper (or bytes) they consume.
I myself began my work with the Unicode Consortium when I was in a company
of 6 people and I largely paid my own expenses to attend meetings, including,
I might add, more than one IRG meeting in East Asia. If you want to make
something happen, do something about it; don't merely whine that you are
a poor academic. You won't get any sympathy from these quarters.
