[gmpi] Re: NAMM follow-up, some major decisions to make

I wouldn't say the large manufacturers have nothing to gain.  There are
large manufacterers who are interested.  And even though objections were
raised at the meeting last week, the objections aren't insurmountable, and
nor were the opinions the "official corporate" position(s) of the companies
involved.

I am confident that we will be able to find a way to make GMPI more
attractive, both by highlighting key tech and market benefits, and also
perhaps by tweaking our development process to recognize the MMA more
clearly.

If it came to a vote in the MMA, every member's vote counts equally, AFAIK.
If, as I hope, ~12 software companies decide to join the MMA to persue this
effort, it would be a significant reshaping of the organization.
