I agree with Kris.  While I wish that we could simply say that there are
no formal qualifications for membership, I think the language is necessary
to (1) define membership for legal reasons and (2) as a way for the
organization to protect itself from potential outside influences should
that ever be necessary.

From a practical standpoint I think anyone who wants to become a member
will, in all likelihood, be granted membership.
