Not only are you right, but per se, the IETF is not a non-profit.

Further most people who participate in non-profits do not fit the legal 
definition of "member".  In the world of non-profits, that term has very 
specific meaning and carries very specific obligations.  Hence most non-profits 
avoid it by having "subscribers" or the like who are not actually "members".


At base, I cannot figure out why anyone keeps feeding such trollish topics, I 
thought it might at least be amusing to comment on the term member.
