The Members' Assembly is composed of all regular members of the Consortium. When voting, each regular member has one vote, which is exercised by a designated representative. Collaborating members are invited to participate in the meetings of the Assembly, but without the right to vote. Each member appoints, according to its own procedures, a person authorized to officially represent it to sit on the Members' Assembly.
