"In addition to OWA’s continued direct advocacy toward browser and OS vendors, we have remained in constant contact with regulators around the world, responding to dozens of requests for information and briefing this year alone. This behind-the-scenes work only occasionally becomes public, but it’s the in-the-weeds problem-description and guidance-giving that changes the agenda and has enabled so many regulators to emphasize the importance to consumers of effective browser and Web App competition."

These folks are working in the shadows to constantly brief regulators on extremely complex browser competition issues. They're web developers who, instead of making websites, are endlessly preparing presentations and documents for regulators to make a better web possible.
