I was part of a EU commission project once to define a metadata standard for sharing of cultural assets. It consisted of developers and managers for many different companies that were active in the cultural sector.

The end result was an abomination, in which every company fought to have a little bit of their tech included in the final specification.

I can't imagine Gaia-X being any different. To be honest, most members are probably in it for the same reason we were - free money.

Direct democracy with prediction markets would solve this because an idiot who votes for a project that fails would lose voting power, minimizing the issue.
