Members join the association by submitting an application, in particular by digital means or by any other method defined by the Executive Committee.
All applications shall give rise to a provisional membership for a maximum period of thirty (30) days, during which time the Executive Committee shall examine the application.
Provisional membership immediately confers on the member all the rights and obligations of membership, under the same conditions as permanent membership.
This membership is said to be «provisional» only in that it is subject to validation by the Executive Committee during the aforementioned period.
At the end of this period :
• or the Executive Committee accepts the membership, which becomes definitive,
• or the Executive Committee rejects the application, giving its reasons, and informs the person concerned.
In the absence of a decision by the Executive Committee at the end of the thirty (30) day period, provisional membership shall be deemed to have been definitively accepted.
During the provisional membership period provided for in Article 6, the Executive Committee may decide not to validate membership.
This decision constitutes a refusal of admission and cannot be equated with striking off, exclusion or a disciplinary sanction.
Refusal to validate automatically terminates provisional membership.
The data subject is informed of this decision by any appropriate means.
Active members are those who join the association.
Membership of the association is free by default.
At the time of joining or at any time thereafter, members may make a one-off donation of any amount they wish, with no obligation and no membership requirement.
