The content of this article sounds very much like it was copied from the NGA website. It includes various potentially non-NPOV phrases which that website uses. Possibly copyvio (although I doubt the NGA would mind in this circumstance), but less than fully NPOV in any case.

[edit] Membership

Does the NGA invariably include all fifty governors? Do they have to be 'paid up' or 'card carrying' in some sense, or are they all effecively members by definition, free to participate or abstain from involvement as they choose? Are there or have there ever been any 'maverick' governors who say "screw them, I'm not joining their little club"? 86.136.92.2 01:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Membership is open to Governors of the 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the [Northern Mariana Islands. How active an individual Governor wants to be involved in the NGA is up to him or her. --TommyBoy (talk) 01:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
