IWF membership is entirely discretionary on the part of the ISP.
Even if the ISP is a member they don't have to implement the blocklist. ID Net is an example of this, I had an interesting exchange with one of the execs when I was a customer a few years ago. They were a member in order to 'monitor' trends but didn't use the blocklist. I don't see them listed as a member any more.

- dingaling 13y agoAs a follow-up to myself, it now appears to be IWF policy that members must implement the blocklist https://www.iwf.org.uk/members/member-policies/url-list/testing-policy https://www.iwf.org.uk/members/member-policies/url-list/test... which presumably explains why some previous 'observer' members are no longer members. Again, though, IWF membership is not mandatory for any organisation.
