Extraordinary membership is limited to a maximum of two full calendar years. This membership is thereafter converted into non-time-limited ordinary membership.
Extraordinary members pay only 50% of the fee rate applicable to ordinary members.
4. Members of sections
The General Meeting empowers the Executive Board to charge reduced fees for members of sections in consultation with the section’s executive board. The size of the section fee depends in each case on the services provided by the IAKS to section members.
5. Members in developing nations
The IAKS sees itself as a global network for sports facility development, regardless of the economic conditions in the various countries of the world. Membership should also be available to those from economically less developed countries who are interested in membership.
Members in the developing nations recognized by the World Bank therefore pay only 50% of the fee rates applicable to ordinary and extraordinary members.
