+# Membership

|
|
|
+Membership is a means by which an organization or government determines its core constituency---and excludes non-members. Members enjoy some specific set of rights of governance and benefit that non-members do not enjoy. In state contexts, it is generally referred to as citizenship. In corporate contexts, it may correlate with stock [ownership](ownership.md). Systems of membership typically presume some means of identity management.
