My organization would participate in the following way if a Verifiable Claims Working Group were to materialize at W3C *
The question that we're asking here is if your organization is likely to join W3C and participate directly in the work. If the majority of the responses that we get back show little to no interest in actually joining and participating in the work, it will be a good signal that there is no interest in solving this particular problem at this point in time. There are two factors for joining 1) The work is important to your organization, and 2) you have personnel and money to join W3C. It costs roughly $2K-$8K/year for small companies (less than $50M USD in revenue), universities, and government organizations to join W3C. It costs roughly $79K/year for very large multi-national companies (>$50M USD in revenue) to join W3C.
