ISP's, by the definition used in the ISP and BC constituency,
fundamentally provide internet connectivity to end users. Songbird does
not provide internet connectivity to anyone. Instead, Songbird's
services are limited to website hosting, design, development, and
consulting. Entities that provide these services are sometimes loosely
referred to as ISPs, because the term "ISP" is used differently by
different people. But as it is used in ICANN, Songbird is not an ISP.
(There is another term common in the business, "Internet Presence
Provider").

You could have figured this out yourself, but of course that would not
serve your purpose.

Yes, it is interesting. It proves that the claims that you and others
make about being unrepresented are simply bogus noise. Anyone who
seriously wants to participate can do so.
