 The NWA Council was originally composed of the seven charter groups who were present at the formation of the New Worlds Alliance in 2003.Over time, two groups become inactive and thus forfeited their place in the Council.In October 2007, tPON did not participate in the New Worlds 5 convention due to the concern for safety brought upon by the mall blasts at the Glorietta which happened a week before the said convention.
