[ga] The NCDNHC: Is their membership valid?

["Mark C. Langston" <skritch@home.com>]

The Non-Commercial Domain Name Holders' Constituency is attempting to
be officially recognized by the ICANN Board of Directors.  Recently,
it has come to light that they have no way of determining the legitimacy
of their membership.

Should a Constituency that has no clear mechanism for determining the
legitimacy of its applicants be recognized be ICANN?

They are already making plans to elect their representatives.  Can this
vote be valid when there is no way of determining the legitimacy of 
their membership?
