Only Ecma members can directly post to the wiki. If you aren't an official
representative of an Ecma member you can host your proposal on your own site
and/or post it in a message to es-discuss. If you want it to appear on the
TC39 wiki you have to convince a member to take responsibility for submitting
it.
The restrictions on posting to the wiki basically derive from the Ecma
Intellectual Property policies.
