• 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.
