There is now only one application form through NCSG, one for individual members and one for organizations. In this application form, prospective applicants have the ability to opt for the kind of membership they wish, NCSG or NCUC. But, the membership will not be happening any more through NCUC. This was part of what was agreed in Dakar between NCUC and NPOC.

I am fine with this and I would like to put a cap of max 5 people (although as Brenden says we will be lucky if we get as many as that).
