Membership review is a defining element of institutional credibility. For IAF, review processes are not administrative formalities, but essential governance mechanisms.
As interest in the federation grows, structured and transparent evaluation ensures that membership strengthens — rather than strains — the organisation.
Why Review Cycles Exist
Periodic review cycles allow IAF to assess applications within context. Organisational readiness, federation priorities and internal capacity all influence responsible admission decisions.
This approach ensures that applicants are evaluated consistently and fairly, without compromising institutional balance.
Alignment Check
Assessing alignment with IAF values, scope and long-term objectives.
Capacity Review
Ensuring applicants can meaningfully engage and contribute.
Balance Consideration
Maintaining diversity across regions and stakeholder groups.
Transparency and Communication
IAF communicates review outcomes clearly and avoids ambiguity around timing, expectations or next steps.
Membership Review Principle
Review cycles protect the integrity of the federation while ensuring fairness, consistency and long-term institutional health.
