3. Academic institutions and departments are welcome to join the Coalition.
 
4. Membership is restricted to non-governmental organizations. Government operated and controlled NGOs, or NGOs who do not operate independently, with neutrality, and with impartiality of government influence are not eligible for membership.
 
5. Individual or private sector supporters are encouraged to support RtoP but only their not-for-profit components are eligible for membership.

7. Members must endorse the common understanding of RtoP principles and the founding purpose of the Coalition. Any advocacy efforts that Members undertake should reflect these principles and purposes.
 
 8. The Coalition Secretariat is responsible for membership decisions. If the Secretariat is unable to determine whether a potential Member is eligible, the Secretariat will seek guidance from the Steering Committee.
