Yes, but you'd need some way for member *organisations* to vote -
either by giving (for example) the PostgreSQLFr board a number of
votes equal to the number of members they have, or by allowing their
members to vote in the affairs of the EU organisation.

Otherwise, only the countries with no group of their own (ie. the
direct membership you propose) could vote.
