This looks like it needed a clarification, apologies if it didn't:

Anyone who wants an LSB workgroup vote can qualify through a relatively
low threshold of participation.  That's in place only as an "educated
voter" measure, not to try to keep people out. There's no "membership"
or other barrier and you certainly don't have to be a vendor. The 
workgroup tries not to get to where votes are needed very often,
however, so this rarely even comes up.
