Just to clarify, that is not a checklist to complete to become a member. That is just a list of some of the criteria they consider. SOAP, like most global user groups, uses a closed-door decision process to select new members nominated by those already in the group. Once a user has been selected, they are invited to join. In other words, you have to wait for an invite; you can't apply for membership.
