I understand that you mean with "Unicode members" just everyone who subscribed to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list., and not e.g. only the people mentioned on http://www.unicode.org/consortium/memblogo.html . In that case you should be aware that the list is open to everyone. And even http://www.unicode.org/consortium/memblogo.html only guarantees that the member in question payed his dues. Yet I myself consider it very cool to be mentioned on one page together with Adobe, Microsoft, and the Government of Pakistan.
