 * The article has now been edited to state (as claimed on the organization's web site) that the association has 5200+ members in 65+ countries. The previous mention of "30 members in several countries" appears to have been based on a misunderstanding; the association's Board of Directors has 30 members and at present includes 20 nationalities. A professional organization with this level of membership and global distribution can IMHO be considered "important and significant" without any further qualification(s).
