In the interests of full disclosure, I am on a number of ICANN mailing
lists already, including At-Large, AfRALO, and AfrICANN, although I am
not a member of a RALO (as far as I know).  In addition, I am active
in various IETF and RIR policy fora, volunteer occasionally for
AfriNIC events and sometimes get paid to give advice and training to
ISPs who are also LIRs.

Does this make me "represented in ICANN through  membership in another
Supporting Organization"  ??

I just don't know.  If someone wanted to keep me off the NCSG, they
could claim I was represented by the ASO, which wouldn't be entirely
untrue, but wouldn't be entirely accurate either.

I think you can now see where my opposition to the proposed rules of
membership arise.  I may be a corner case, but then again, I may be
just the kind of person you are trying to attract!

I look forward to your reply.
