Article 10 explained in plain English
This Article specifies who makes up the General Assembly, one of the Association's bodies listed in Article 9 alongside the Executive Board, the General Secretariat and the permanent committees.
Two requirements for membership of the General Assembly:
- The person must be a working member of the Association.
- The person must have fulfilled their obligations to the Association.
So under the text of this Article, a working member who has not fulfilled their obligations is not part of the General Assembly. The Article does not detail what is meant by obligations; the remaining provisions of the Statute and the Association's regulations must be consulted.
The General Assembly matters because of the competences set out in Article 11: it is the supreme authority of the Association, sets general policies, elects two thirds of the Board members and two thirds of the alternate members, approves the annual report and budget, approves the final accounts and appoints the auditor, and sets the annual subscription.
Fulfilling one's obligations is therefore a practical condition for a working member to have a role in these decisions.
