WebAssembly Foundation is a misleading name. WebAssembly has a foundation, just not a separate one. It's W3C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAssembly

I like that OpenJS Foundation is called OpenJS Foundation and not JS Foundation.

That said, the main thing I object to is the trademark.



You actually gave me a great idea! Perhaps we can rename it to OpenWasm Foundation (I think that's a great name, your suggestion inspired me). I will discuss with more people to see what name will make more sense to rename it to.

And please let me know if you have other suggestions!


Good luck. I wouldn't mind having multiple organizations. The Bytecode Alliance is great but I would rather people recognize that WebAssembly belongs to the W3C (or everyone via the W3C if you prefer to think of it that way) and not them or the CNCF.

I 300% agree with you on this
