Map

[edit]

I've just removed the map from the infobox (shown at the top of this thread), as it's misleading. The key problem is that it defines the various countries as being either OECD members or OECD applicants. This isn't correct - as this article notes, there are actually several categories of non-members who are OECD partners, with only some of these countries having applied to join the organisation of which only a sub-set are going through the formal accession process. If a map showing non-members is included, it needs to reflect this diversity. The map was also flawed in that it included Malaysia as an applicant, where the reference to this in the article was very low quality (an old news story reporting that a low ranking Malaysian public servant had said that Malaysia was applying at a minor conference, with no follow up reporting I can see - OECD membership applications are actually announced by national leaders and attract lots of media attention). @StevoLaker: as the creator of this map.
