[Npoc-discuss] The new charter of NPOC - members' review

Your points are well-made. Given the clear requirements for Members. Individual “Members” would be inconsistent. I still think individuals could be allowed to participate as observers or some sort of non-member status,  assuming they presented credentials attesting to their involvement with non-profit organizations. 

But perhaps better stay with current structure, which has worked.

Operational Concerns are defined as issues arising from the use of the gTLDs by the not-for-profit organizations to achieve their own mission. Those can include but are not limited to Domain Name Fraud, Intellectual Property Abuse, Privacy, Security, Stability, and Resiliency, as well as transparent registration and continued ownership of domain names."
