I'm unclear about OCLC's nonprofit structure, but if it is truly a "member
organization," then one of two things could possibly-possibly be possible:
* The records could belong to the members, period, or
* The member's council could choose to vote to give anyone access to the
records-OCLC members, non-OCLC members, etc.
Pondering nonprofitland, I'm also wondering if those records are considered
OCLC's inventory.
