The Board has not made it clear whose advise they have taken to judge the 
credibility of the IDNO membership signup process.

If anything was lacking, improvements could have been suggested by those 
advisors.
But because they did not reject the petition for recognition at any stage, 
they were spared the need to suggest anything. Smart. But "totally" 
responsible (in the sense of answerable)??

If you allege as FACT that something is "simply" the case, Mr Crispin, it 
should be simple for you to point out why.

You are on record to have disputed the need for a declaration of adhesion. 
You wanted to be listed as a member while promoting the opinion that there 
was no need for an Individuals Constituency in the DNSO.

Logically, the adherence to a Mission Statement as a condition for 
successful signup as a member makes it *more* credible that those who sign 
up wish to be  represented by the organization, its charter and its mission 
statement.
