Si legga un requisito come la soglia minima pubblicata dall'organizzazione, non come una garanzia. Un criterio di fatturato può prevedere versioni alternative per diverse tipologie di impresa, i capitoli possono stabilire criteri locali più restrittivi, e gli enti su invito pubblicano criteri che descrivono i soci piuttosto che ammetterli.
