Right, it is a broad definition.

Maybe it isn't clear enough to you, but if you read the charter and the
addendum, it is the case that membership == community.   There isn't a
"membership" in the sense of paying dues, etc.  This goes back to the days
of the regional techs meetings and the whole point of NANOG...

Okay, now i'm done... :)
