Many not-for-profits are already subject to these rules. The question then is, if you're going to lower the registration threshold so that everyone registers, do you do the same for a not-for-profit?
I completely sympathize with that. I live within the rare disease space in another part of my life and patient groups form as not-for-profits. They have no choice but to lobby to find answers to the things that they are dealing with. I have a lot of sympathy for that question.
I think the solution might be that you keep a threshold for some exceptions. For those not-for-profits that are doing health-related, individual charity work or small not-for-profits—whatever the threshold is that you will decide upon—you could say that there is a baseline number of hours that they would have to meet within their organization before they're required to register. You could keep the current rules in place for those smaller players because of the value of having them not waste their time on an administrative burden. I guess that's one way of putting it.
