This cannot be. You can say that any such person can be *eligible*
to be a member, but you can't automatically make them a member
whether they want to be or not. The DNSO *and it's membership* can
be sued, remember. Legally you simply cannot make someone a member
of an organization they don't want to be a member of -- and I
certainly can imagine that there could be domain holders who don't
want to be members of DNSO.
