I think it will avoid as much misunderstanding and sow confusion in our minds. It is clear that non-commercial users include non-profit organizations. It would be absurd to have a panel of nonprofit organizations and non-commercial users Constituency. If this is really necessary, the initiators of the Constituency of nonprofit organizations can organize thematic group within the non-commercial users Constituency.
