Persons admitted to the honorary membership will be called “honorary members”. In the bylaws, “members” refer to all membership categories unless specified differently.

Members of the society are those who have applied to the board in writing and who have been admitted by the board to the membership. Applications should be submitted to the secretary of the board. If not admitted to the membership, the plenary membership meeting may decide otherwise.

The board will keep a record of the names and (electronic) addresses of all members.

Resignation of membership is only possible at the end of the financial year and with the observance of a term of notice of four weeks; the general law of terms does not apply to this term of notice. In any case, membership can be terminated by resignation at the end of the financial year, following upon the year of resignation, or immediately, when, reasonably, membership cannot be continued.

Members will pay an annual subscription which is determined by the board. Junior members pay a reduced subscription. Subscriptions last at least two years

The board may decide, in special circumstances, to relief the obligation to pay the subscription or part of it.
