Read against COPU's own June 2026 "one body, two wings" strategy, in which the western wing is defined as deep participation in European and American rule governance and leadership of next-generation standards, the document applies a national-membership filter to an organisation whose declared comparative advantage is sitting in western standards rooms — without naming a single alternative channel through which those 24 units' technical engagement would continue.
