The affiliated ones too :-). As you may recall you prevented my 
organisation to join the NCUC.  If I take experience of this case, 
this partly resulted from a personal bias of yours (the Chair 
corrected) and from your genuine but hurting ignorance (and other 
members') of non-US laws. I suggest that two rules are established:
- qualification of the incorporated structures (as non-profit, 
commercial, technical, R&D, etc.) are on a bona fide basis and can be 
appealed by Membership Committee via a local ISOC chapter or 
concerned Organisation UDRP like informal procedure. For example if I 
claim to be on a JTC1 list, this can be checked and publicly 
corrected if it is not true.
- there are two types of structures: formal structures having a 
non-internet activity, incorporation, and governance, and internet 
specific "dynamic structures" (networks, mouvances, clique, knowledge 
consortia, mailing lists, etc.), as at the IGF.

NB. Debbie is the Chair of a powerful and acknowledged expertise 
non-profit center. I certainly disagree with her on some points more 
than you do with me, but will certainly not oppose her NCUC 
Membership where her WLDC do belong.
