Acceptance Procedure

1.  When the application is received, a letter of confirmation will be sent to the applicant explaining the application procedure and stating when the applicant can expect an answer to the application.

2.  When all documentation is received, a recommendation for acceptance or rejection is made by the secretariat.

3.  If the applicant clearly does not meet the criteria for membership, the application need not go to the executive, but the secretariat will inform the applicant immediately.

4.  Approximately every 3 months the list of recommendations is e-mailed to the executive committee members.

5.  Executive members are to respond to the list of recommendations as soon as possible and not later than 30 days upon reception.

6.  If 5 or more executive members are in favour of a recommendation, the recommendation will be followed.

7.  In exceptional cases, if any one executive member requests, an application can  be put on hold until the next ordinary executive meeting.

8.  The executive meetings will normally only deal with disputed applications.

9.  The applicants will be informed about the decision of the Executive by the secretariat. If accepted, the applicant will be asked to pay the membership fee within 30 days.

When the membership fee has been paid, an applicant is formally a member of IAMS. Click here to see the IAMS payment policy.
