	For readers' information, that membership roll lists 34
individual, named businesses (two of which are Songbird and the Darwin
Group).  (Maybe fewer -- I couldn't always tell which of the members were
individual businesses, so I erred on the high side.)

	The BC also lists a set of associational members, and states that
the associational members extend its outreach directly to tens of
thousands of businesses worldwide.  The largest are WITSA (World
Information Technology and Service Alliance), which is said to have 20,000
members (actually, WITSA has no members other than national IT
associations, so presumably the 20,000 figure is an estimate of the number
of members WITSA's members have), and MEDEF (Mouvement des Enterprises de
France), which is said to have 10,000 French employers as members.
