The most important thing is securing the members' information from being used for mass marketing. For example: Users should not be able to view the entire membership’s email list and cut and paste that into their address book.

Does it have to be distributed as a CD-ROM? What if it was all on-line? Unless I'm missing something, it seems like that would meet all or most of your requirements.
