Curious question, by the way: how controversial would you expect this move to be domestically? From e.g. a Swedish perspective, the NSA is an intelligence agency of a foreign power and the other mentioned organizations are either largely uncontroversial and seen in a positive light (Amnesty, PEN, HRW) or unknown, but will it affect how the WMF is seen in the US?
I'm not American, but the other co-plaintiffs seem to be civil rights / human rights organisations who are firmly at the left-wing/progressive end of US politics, some of them probably take the US government to court fairly often. So being seen in this company might identify the WMF a little with that part of the US political spectrum.
Equally, the fact that WMF isn't a political organisation and isn't in the habit of suing the US Government probably adds a lot of weight to the campaign!
