[CCWG-ACCT] [CCWG-Accountability] Membership thoughts

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Won't happen as not al ccTLDs are or will remain members of ccNSO.

You can't have an internal, select group as members.

All or none, in my view.

How are ISOC, the Red Cross/Crescent (etc), Doctors without Borders, or similar Non-Profits set up?
