Well, I learn something every day. 

Who are the signing members and therefore, theoretically, the legal owners?

Not quite true Jim, AccessD and the other lists is owned by DatabaseAdvisors
a privately held company, incorporated in Delaware.  However
DatabaseAdvisors is just a means to an end which is to maintain the lists,
nothing more.  We do not earn money (though we could), we do not pay
dividends to the share holders.  We no longer even sell shares, that was
just a way to manage the incorporation.
