multiple things possible - I'm trying to get a feeling for the space.
it appears that some people have trouble with the "necessary" part, so it's 
probably not reasonable.

Certainly not disjoint with the constituencies, or I wouldn't be here :-)
same for the PSO - with my IAB membership, I'm part of the structural 
underpinnings of the PSO. I think most of us are in multiple hats, or could 
be if we cared to make it explicit.

I don't think there could be - nobody's proposed (AFAIK) that any person 
should be barred from being a GA member because of other engagements.

If nobody speaks up in favour of excluding anyone, I'll assume that this is 
the GA's opinion: Anyone can join.
