Description

1. 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.
2. 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.
