I understand that you weren't trying to generalize all Black non-NPHC GLOs, but let's try to find a common denominator in all this:

Which orgs were these? How old were they?

My point of all this is, if these orgs were founded in the last 5-7 years, then they are still young orgs and I am not concerned so much with them. My primary concern is with orgs at least 20 years old (founded no later than the mid 1980s). Were these orgs started PRIMARILY b/c the NPHC didn't meet their needs? If so, then maybe your point is a little more legitimate. If not, then that's another issue altogether--no more different than why Iota was founded.

I don't find the requirements harsh. I think they make sure that any organization that comes into the fold has a solid foundation and will have a productive future. What's wrong with that?

I guess my question is, if they are solid enough to be part of the NIC, then what is the real issue at hand?
