Californian Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 These nations are not really located in the Arctic however no requirements are necessary for membership or observer status. Therefore, the FRG would approve both as observers. **Private to CAN Members** New England may attain observer status however we will not support any bid from them for membership.
