The OpenGL API is controlled by an independent board, the Architecture Review Board (ARB). Each member of the ARB has one vote. The permanent members of the ARB are Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, SGI, Evans & Sutherland, and 3Dlabs. Additional members may be voted in over time. The ARB governs the future of the OpenGL API, proposing and approving changes to the specification, new releases, and conformance testing.
