- representing media and journalist networks, associations etc.;
- Human Rights Organisations and Organisations focusing on gender justice and inclusive governance of commons resources;
- based in sub-regions where ILC has few members (Mekong, Central Asia, Maghreb and Middle East, Pacific, Caribbean and Sahel); and
- based in countries where ILC members have a National Engagement Strategy
Individuals, governments, and private sector actors such as corporations are not eligible to become members of ILC.
