With the ability an individual to join up to 3 Constituencies, the
possibility exists that one could join CC-CSG to represent their
organization and the CC-NCSG to represent their personal interests.

with the existence of the for-profit academic community?

For the organizers of the NC Academic Constituency, the charter should
be inclusive of non-affiliated scholars.
