Would there be a reason to treat these differently as far as Associate Membership is concerned?

I like the idea but I think we are mixing two things.
One is non-profit organization.
Another is Academic and Government institutions.
These are two very different entities and criteria need to be precise that either of these 2 entities are eligible for associated membership.
I recall that PNNL was active at some time ago. Have we reached out to them with this proposal to join?
Thanks,
