We have received membership requests from some newer countries and have decided to recommend to the Board that we have 3 membership levels:
1. Probationary. 2. Affiliate. 3. Full
The rationale is that new countries, need help in developing their Associations, so we don’t want to exclude them from receiving our support but we also want to acknowledge that they don’t currently meet the requirements to be an affiliate or full member. Once the Board has approved the proposal, we will share more about the different levels and confirm the membership levels of each of our country members.
The following nine countries will have Probationary level membership.
