<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The current text uses the terms
"volunteer group, not-for-profit, non-profit, charitable
organization, or educational institution" <br>
<br>
My reading of this is that accreditation isn't a requirement. The
text could be rewritten to remove educational institutions, but
some of the community networks one might imagine are educational
organizations (which are government entities, not necessarily
registered/chartered as non-profit organization)<br>

3) Why is the scope limited to post-secondary institution
when many smaller communities would not have that? Could
accredited educational institution be used instead?<br>
