__________________

When you become a Tibet Network Member:
Your organisation is asked to nominate at least two people to become primary contacts of Tibet Network. These contacts should have easy access to email, and be willing to join both the email discussion list TSG-L and Tibet Network’s Members Facebook Group.

Member organisations are entitled to nominate one candidate for regional Steering Committee elections, and to vote in these elections. Tibetans are actively encouraged to stand for election to the Steering Committee.

Network Members will receive regular emails from the Secretariat concerning campaigns, action, meetings, online trainings and discussion points.

Network Members also have the opportunity to attend annual Regional Meetings and to propose campaign ideas, join campaign working groups and participate in the development of campaign strategies. In some cases, for example at Regional Meetings, the Steering Committee may invite the membership to vote on campaign proposals.

Membership of the International Tibet Network does not mean that groups are required to participate in all the Network-promoted campaigns. It is up to the individual Member organisations to implement the strategies proposed or endorsed by the Network as they feel appropriate, but we believe the effectiveness of the movement will be enhanced by the commitment of Tibet groups around the world to coordinated activities.

Non Tibet-specific NGOs may become Associate Members of the Network, without voting rights. The Network does not admit individual members but encourages individuals to become active contributors to an appropriate Member organisation.
