The Khronos Group is an American industry consortium in control of several key programming application interfaces (API) like OpenGL, OpenCL and Vulkan. As good as all graphical GNU/Linux software use a standard they control, one way or another.
The Khronos Group is a non-profit organization controlled by the "members" (owners). They have two classes of controlling members: "Promoter Members", who have voting rights and the right to designate a Director to the Khronos Board, and "Contributor Members" who can vote but can not influence who gets to be on the Khronos Board. The two additional token member classes "Associate Members" and "Academic Members" can participate in working groups with no say what so ever in any decisions.
