very simple. We are NOT deciding whether we like the person or we like
what she/he says. We are deciding whether they are a) an organization,
b) a noncommercial organiation, c) meet the other requirements in our
charter. See below:

Eligible organizations. Organizations meeting the following criteria are
eligible for membership in the Constituency:

A Organizations incorporated as a non-commercial entity (in countries
that have such a provision in their commercial code) or, if
unincorporated, or if operating in a country without provisions for
non-commercial incorporation, operate on a not-for-profit basis
primarily for non-commercial purposes, and

B Be the exclusive user of at least one domain name. This can be
verified by its listing as the registrant and/or administrative contact
in the WHOIS data of the domain name, by the name resolving to a website
controlled by and representing the organization, or other indications
that prove to Secretary-Treasurer and Chair that the prospective Member
Organization is the primary user of a domain name.

C Are engaged in activities that are primarily non-commercial,
including, e.g., political advocacy, educational, religious, charitable,
scientific and artistic.
