Looks like everyone has the right to veto (hence, this outcome from a year and a half ago), and they vetoed forming a small committee that would thus have an exclusive veto.
Apple's been kneecapping the web for years with the dual argument "you cant have WebUSB/Bluetooth and be private, permission dialogs don't count." After allowing iOS to make the opposite trade-off while confusingly marketing their phones as "what happens on your phone stays on your phone", and making Facebook a central authentication mechanism in iOS 4 and pushing devs to use it to "hurt Google", allowing them to obfuscate their vetoes via an exclusive smaller group seems blinkered.
