Regarding the participation, voting and candidate-nominating rights of the IWF members at the upcoming IWF Electoral Congress in Madrid (31 March – 1 April 2009), and with reference to Article 18 of the Constitution, the IWF Executive Board took the following unanimous decision:
In order to be eligible to vote and present candidates for election at the 2009 IWF Electoral Congress in Madrid, a National Federation must settle its membership fees (US$500 annually) for the last 4 years (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008).
Settlement of the outstanding membership fees must be made:
– either by bank transfer to the IWF before 15 March 2009
– or in cash latest before 21:00h on 30 March 2009, in Madrid
Delegates of countries failing to settle their membership arrears may participate but may not vote or present candidates for election.
