Admission

Applications for membership or renewal of membership shall be submitted to the Secretary General. In the case of any applicant whose character, reputation or conduct might make him an undesirable member, the Secretary General shall refer the application to the Executive Committee for review; which shall decide upon admission by a simple majority of votes. In all other cases, the Secretary General shall have the authority to grant membership.

To safeguard the standards of the Network and the value of membership, applications of Individual and Post-Graduate Full Members and their corresponding papers are considered by the Scientific Committee of the NDRD Council. Applications should be completed fully and accurately since inadequate information will result in a decision being deferred. Council elects successful applicants to membership in March, June, September and December.
