So the organization that supports you (supposedly) is ok even if it
ONLY has commercial members, but the ISOC who also serves a non-profit
function and has commercial and non-commercial is not?

Spare us Michael, your hypocracy gets worse with each passing day.

Do the honorable thing and step aside and not let the work of the ACM
efforts in the NCDNHC be tainted by your affiliation.  

If your goals are honorable, and your ego isn't involved, you will
realize this is the best thing you can do for the effort you claim to
support so much.
