Governance
The general assembly is the highest decision-making organ. It meets at least once every three years, usually alongside an international forum. Each recognised association appoints up to two delegates who may vote in its name.
The board runs the federation between assemblies. The statutes provide for five to fifteen members elected for four years. The assembly elects the president; the board appoints the treasurer, the secretary and the vice-presidents from among its own members.
