President proposal:

The member fee income 2008 (old system) was USD 26 168, than member fee income 2008 (new system) was USD 2 465 only due to the decision of GA 2008:

The member fee is low. It is based on individual conventions which was determined many years before. The best way of the rise of the member fee is the spontaneity. Each IFIA member pay raised member fee according its financial conditions in 2009.

 

Proposed decision:

The IFIA ExCo asks the President: Would please suspend the decision of GA 2008 and would apply for the payment of the IFIA member fee according to the system before the GA 2008, Suzhou.

 

This proposal was unanimously approved.
