1) What does the group or organization look like and how is it structured (including the leadership)? What are its goals? Primary issue area(s)? What kind of resources (ex. money) does it possess? 2) Who makes up its membership and/or target audience or constituency (group it serves)? 3) What is the history of its involvement in domestic politics? How influential do you think it is either domestically, regionally, or globally? What kind of potential does it have for involvement and influence in domestic or regional politics in the future?
