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

Fri Aug 17 23:34:13 EEST 2012

Dear Robin,

Seems reasonable to me too - but it will invariably takes us to the need to
define "major": does it mean just one member such as a "biggie" like
Microsoft? or does it means 50% of all members are from the private sector?
As to the specific case of GKP Foundation, the legacy GKP members are all
listed on the website (a large majority from civil society) but the new
GKPF members are not yet listed, so we would have to ask Klaus to give us
that list. I can tell you (I'm on the Board of Trustees) that the majority
is from civil society.

Another related issue is around Multi-Stakeholders organizations (like
GKPF): I would prefer to include them as members if the majority (50%+) of
members are from civil society.

Alain
