Thanks. You answered my question by raising another question.

Diversity of views and inclusiveness is good and while there is no
reason to limit
the sphere of participation of any potentially non-commercial
interested parties outright,
I wonder if if the NCSG would be better off by amending its charter
when a particular group
request or formation of a religious interest group comes up.
