The products of those discussions are kept within the two organizations, but only until they are approved for publication. Between the two, most companies making MIDI equipment, and all of the major operating system companies, are represented and able to participate in standards development and approval. AMEI is the equivalent organization in Japan. The MIDI Association is made up of hardware and software companies and more, all interested in MIDI.
