Description

7. Is your organization constituted so that participation by individual
   Internet users who are citizens or residents of countries within the
   Geographic Region in which your organization is based will predominate
   in your organization's operation?
   CfM is an Independent Voluntary Industrial Body with active membership
   participation by organizations and not individuals. We do have individual
   memberships, but they are currently inactive. However, we are in the
   midst of reviewing this and may soon embark on individual membership.
   But the crux remains that individuals will not predominate CfM.
8. Describe your organization's constituents/membership (number, citizenship/location,
   defining characteristic - e.g. profession for professional societies):
   CfM has 2 forms of membership: a) Ordinary b) Associates
   a) Ordinary: Open to commercial organizations, public interest groups,
   non-governmental, and institutions of higher learning. Service Providers
   of the Communications and Multimedia Industry who holds licence/s from
   the Regulator of the Industry (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia
   Commission - MCMC) are strongly encouraged to apply.
   b) Associates: Open to non-MCMC licensed organizations and individuals.
9. Explain the eligibility requirements (if any) for your organization's
   constituents/membership (if you provide a written application for admission
