Thanks a lot in advance for your understanding and efforts.

Andrew: it "must be" because is an obligatory requisite. Your suggestion
makes that membership be open even to organizations that are commercials
but are registered as non-profit, even where there is other provisions
that avoids such membership. We don't want to have inconsistences.
> What's the intended meaning of B(iii)?
>I trust that it is not intended to exclude an individual who works for

This paragraph means that an individual cannot represent more than one
organization that applies for membership in the NCDNHC. Every
organization has to name as a representative different persons.

Andrew, we are not naming six representatives for the Names Council. We
are electing three members for the Names Council, but lets say that one of
them have an illness and cannot vote in a specific NC meeting. Then such
NC representative needs someone that vote. That's why such NC
representatives needs an alternate: someone that votes in the name of NC
representative. The alternate is a person which works closely with the NC
representative but never acts in his/her self name. The act of an
alternate in a specific meeting of the NC is always as if the NC
representative itself is present in such meeting.
