[NCSG-EC] Approval of new members

[Robin Gross]

Hello all,

I have gone through the system and cast my votes in the system.  Some are yes, some are no.  

But I’m concerned that none of the organizational applications provided any kind of statement of interest, or domain name, or any information at all.  Is that because our system is broken and it isn’t being saved when applicants enter in the data?  Or do applicants think it is unnecessary to fill out the application?  For many of these applicants, there is nothing but the name of an organization supplied and that does not enable us to do our due diligence on them.

Remember that accepting new members requires no “no” votes under our charter.  Decisions to accept members must be unanimous.

Thanks,
Robin

I may be mistaken, and if that is the case, please let me know, but I think from last time, it was @Robin Gross <mailto:robin at ipjustice.org> who pointed out that we have to make sue they are actually representing such perspectives. In any case, the list of folks:
