[EC-NCSG] dealing with 9 pending membership applications from the new online form

[Alain Berranger]

Hi Rafik,

I have asked Klaus to answer your request for clarification and question -
I do not know the current situation exactly, but you are right about a
restructuration going on at GKPF - we went from a network (GKP) to a
foundation (GKPF) structure a couple of years back. Generally speaking,
GKPF is a MS and NFP organization, with a large majority of the membership
being from civil society. In the past WB and MS were donors to GKP but not
recently to GKPF.

Best, Alain
