They most certainly are, if they purport to be a constituency.  The
NCDNHC was approved an initial constituency, but was sent back to make
changes to their charter before being admitted.

The constituencies are not organizations, Roeland.  Show me one that
is.  The IDNO is an outside organization, like the ISOC.  The ISOC is
NOT a constituency.  The IDNO is NOT a constituency.

An organization certainly can select or deselect as they please.  But
a constituency is NOT an organization.  It doesn't even resemble one.
