direct membership
Explanation:
Ok, another punt, on similar lines :-)

If you are in a country that is a member, you join this crew through that country's membership.

If you are in a country that does not have membership, then you have to join the crew directly, if you want to join.

all of which is simply an explanation of the meaning behind what will thus end up being, the way I see it, a fairly literal translation of what the text says.

I agree with your last note, regardless of the complexity (or otherwise) of what the organisation means by "direct membership", the actual translation is very straightforward and literal at the end of the day. Thanks to all.

individual membership


Explanation:
I feel the key matter here is the difference between joining an organization through being a member of something else, or making a direct (personal, individual...) application. What is your opinion about this issue? Let me know in any case,
