As ldraw.org isn't a 'normal' organization, with actual membership, I don't
think there can be any other definition than yours:

I consider myself a member of the "LCAD community" in that I use the ldraw
program, Steve's LDAO, and the parts ref on LUGNET. I promote the ldraw.org
web site, keep intending to submit an entry for the MOTM, believe in the open
nature of the program and parts files, believe that there should be some
quality standards for parts, etc. So as long as there is no official
membership critera for being in "The Organization" I will consider myself a
member of the organization.

Having said that, I can't see myself ever authoring a part, and maybe never
voting on parts.  I would pay a fee to be an official "member" of an
official "Organization" especially if this got me a CD with the most recent
program and parts libraries, and maybe even a semiannual update.
